Barca are preparing to offer Raphinha a contract extension until 2029

Barcelona are working on a contract renewal for Raphinha, aiming to extend his stay at the club until 2029. The 28-year-old Brazilian, who is under contract until 2027, has been in fine form this season, with 24 goals and 15 assists in 35 games. 

Raphinha's remarkable turnaround under manager Hansi Flick has seen him become one of the team's most influential players both on and off the pitch. The proposed extension would add two years to his current contract, with a salary increase set to take effect from 2026. 

Barcelona's sporting management views Raphinha as a key long-term asset, with his performances this season described as the most productive of his career. The Brazilian international has successfully adapted to a new role on the left wing, a position initially introduced by former manager Xavi and further refined by Flick. 

Despite previous links to potential transfers, including interest from Saudi Pro League clubs, Raphinha has consistently expressed his happiness in Spain and his desire to establish himself at Barcelona for the long term. 

This contract extension would secure Raphinha's services well into his prime years, with the player turning 30 when his current deal expires.
