In-Form Raphinha Wants to Finish Career at Barcelona
Deco said the club secured the Brazil forward after his 11-goal start in seven matches and his wish to finish his career at Barcelona.
- On Saturday, Barcelona sporting director Deco announced an agreement in principle to extend captain Raphinha's contract until June 2030, securing the Brazilian forward for four additional years.
- Raphinha's explosive start to the 2026–27 campaign fuels this renewal, as the forward scored 11 goals in seven matches since shifting to a central striker role following Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres' departures.
- Raphinha told RAC1 radio he intends to "finish my career here," noting his previous 2028 deal was based on different expectations before his recent scoring surge.
- Deco also confirmed the club is finalizing new long-term deals for youngsters Marc Bernal and Xavi Espart, with Bernal's agreement running until 2031 and expected signatures in the coming days.
- The preemptive agreement effectively closes the door on Arsenal's long-standing interest while positioning Barcelona to maintain squad stability under coach Hansi Flick's leadership.
