"Barcelona star Raphinha has hit back at talk that he already has an agreement in place to leave the club in the summer transfer window if a lucrative offer arrives from Saudi Arabia. It was reported earlier this week that the Brazilian has a verbal agreement with Deco to move on after World Cup 2026 if a big-money offers comes in from the Middle East. However, Raphinha has moved quickly to shoot down the speculation. He responded to a post on social media about the story with some very strong words, as reported by Mundo Deportivo."
"Raphinha has regularly made it clear that Barcelona is the only club he wants to play for and that he'd be happy to spend his entire career at Camp Nou. After signing a new contract earlier this season he said: "I've told my family before that my dream is to be here until the end of my career and I hope to be able to do so but at my best level.""
Raphinha denied claims of an existing agreement to depart Barcelona for Saudi Arabia and rejected suggestions of a summer exit for a lucrative offer. A claim suggested a verbal arrangement with Deco to leave after World Cup 2026 if a big-money Middle East offer materialized. Raphinha responded on social media, calling the allegations nonsense and labelling them fake news. He has repeatedly stated that Barcelona is the only club he wants to play for and has expressed a desire to spend his entire career at Camp Nou. He signed a new contract earlier this season and told his family his dream is to remain until the end of his career at his best level.
