"He has a contract until 2028, he renewed last season, but he has had the temptation of Saudi Arabia on the table for a long time. And when he renewed, he agreed with Deco and with Barça on some conditions that could make it easier for him to leave for Saudi Arabia next summer, in 2026, after the World Cup."
"He does not just have one offer: he has more than one, and for staggering amounts. The offers are on the table, Raphinha has spoken publicly about it."
"I see him very comfortable, very integrated, very involved, committed."
"Only Barça."
Raphinha has returned from a two-month muscle injury and produced strong performances, including a man-of-the-match display in the 3-1 win over Atlético Madrid with a momentum-shifting equalizer. He celebrated by pointing at the crest and repeatedly states "Only Barça." Teammates and journalists describe him as comfortable, integrated and fully involved in daily routines. A verbal understanding made during his renewal reportedly makes a post-2026 World Cup move to Saudi Arabia easier despite a contract until 2028. Multiple Saudi offers for staggering amounts reportedly exist, and Raphinha has publicly acknowledged interest.
