The Catalan newspaper 'Sport' reported that the Brazilian star Rafinha is a key element in Barcelona's project under the leadership of coach Hans Flick, and he will not be sold in the upcoming period.

According to the newspaper, the Brazilian star's contract with the Catalan club extends until the summer of 2028, and it is expected to continue beyond the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico in the summer.

Rafinha plays a pivotal role in Barcelona's plans and aims to win the UEFA Champions League with the club, in addition to winning the 2026 World Cup with the Brazilian national team, where he is relied upon by the Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti as a key player within the national team's tactical plan.

The player feels appreciated and fully supported within the club, which makes any external transfer offers unfeasible at the moment, a situation that pleases the management led by president Joan Laporta, coach Hans Flick, and sporting director Deco.

The newspaper noted that the player's wife plays an important role in making his future decisions, as was evident when he recently renewed his contract with Barcelona.

The newspaper concluded that Rafinha remains one of the fundamental pillars for Barcelona's sporting and economic future, with full commitment to achieving the goals of both the club and the national team.
