In-form Raphinha wants to finish career at Barcelona
Barcelona captain Raphinha said on Friday he hopes to extend his stay at the club and end his playing career there after a blistering start to the season in front of goal."Given the way I've started the season, I think I can keep going for a few more years and I would be very happy to extend my contract and, hopefully, finish my career here without having to go elsewhere," the 29-year-old added.
Barcelona captain Raphinha expressed his desire to continue his playing career at the club after a remarkable start to the season, where he has scored 11 goals in just seven matches. The Brazil winger, who joined Barcelona in 2022, has taken to his new position well since Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres departed the team. Raphinha, 29, told RAC1 radio that he intends to extend his contract, hoping to finish his career with the club.
He was appointed captain at the start of the season following the departures of Ronald Araujo, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and an injury to Frenkie de Jong. Raphinha has scored a total of 86 goals in 184 appearances for Barcelona, with 66 of those goals coming under coach Hansi Flick, who has led the team to La Liga titles in both of his seasons in charge.
Currently, Barcelona leads Real Madrid and Real Betis by three points ahead of their Saturday match against fifth-placed Sevilla.
