Raphinha signs new contract at Barcelona until 2030

Raphinha has extended his contract with Barcelona until the summer of 2030, according to the latest sports news. The 29-year-old Brazilian forward, who joined the club from Leeds United for £55 million in 2022, has been a crucial player for the team since his arrival. Raphinha has made 185 appearances across all competitions, scoring 89 goals and providing 62 assists.

After helping Barcelona secure consecutive La Liga titles, head coach Hansi Flick appointed him as the new captain this season. Raphinha has started the 2026-27 season on a high note, leading the charts with 12 goals in just seven games. He also scored two goals in Barcelona's Champions League opener against Feyenoord. However, Raphinha had to miss Brazil's win over Australia due to a thigh injury and is expected to fully recover in time for the upcoming match against Getafe.

With significant matches against Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid on the horizon, Flick might opt to give Raphinha a break, considering his role as the team's captain.
