Despite rumours that Raphinha might be one of the players to be let go by Barcelona, the Brazilian winger has made it clear he isn't looking to leave.
Speaking to 'BeIn Sports', after Barca's defeat by Real Sociedad on Saturday night, he stated, "I want to stay at Barca for many more years". He added that he was happy at the club and this isn't the first time he's expressed his desire to stay.
Days earlier, during the club's victory parade through the streets of Barcelona, he spoke to 'BarcaTV' and declared he hoped "to be able to come back again (for another parade)" and added that "we worked very hard for this, we knew what we wanted and to win La Liga with this parade is incredible".
He certainly has visions of next seasons, commenting "I would ask people to keep supporting us and next season we're going to try to be even better and to go for as many titles as we can get".
Barca reportedly payed Leeds United £55 million for the Brazilian last season, who became crucial to the champions this season, providing 7 goals and 7 assists in their La Liga title run.
