Latest news from FC Barcelona: the club has reached an agreement to extend the contract of Raphinha, a 29-year-old forward, until 2030. Hansi Flick publicly endorsed the decision after the victory against Sevilla, highlighting the Brazilian's importance within the squad and his relationship with the fans. The administrative formalization is scheduled for the coming days.

The renewal involves extending Raphinha's contract by two seasons beyond the original date of June 30, 2028. Deco explained during the club's Assembly on Saturday that discussions are nearly finalized, with pending procedures expected to be completed next week.

Hansi Flick supports Raphinha's continuity

Hansi Flick considers keeping the Brazilian as a coherent decision given his current role in the team. The coach emphasized his leadership, connection with fans, and commitment both in matches and daily team operations.

The coach's confidence is also backed by statistics. Raphinha has started the 2026/27 season with 14 goals in eight official matches, scoring three times last Saturday in the 1-3 victory against Sevilla at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.

In LaLiga, the forward had nine goals and three assists in six matches before the Sevilla game. These numbers, along with the two goals in his debut Champions League match, explain how he reached 14 goals across both competitions.

FC Barcelona extends a contract that ended in 2028

The contractual situation began to evolve in recent weeks. Raphinha's previous agreement was set to expire in 2028, but the player himself had expressed a desire to continue and, under the right conditions, end his sporting career at Barcelona.

The Brazilian had already renewed in May 2025, extending his contract until 2028 after a season where he recorded 34 goals and 25 assists in 56 matches. That renewal occurred during Flick's first year in charge of the team.

The scenario has now changed again. With the extension until 2030, the forward would be tied to FC Barcelona until 33 years old, as he turns 30 on December 14. The deal announced by Deco would extend his time with the blaugrana, which began in July 2022 following his move from Leeds United.

Raphinha becomes one of the players with the longest contracts

This decision aligns with the club's recent renewal policy. In recent months, the sporting direction has extended the contracts of several squad members, and Deco announced on Saturday that the extensions of Marc Bernal and Xavi Espart, along with Raphinha's, are also on track.

The next step will be to finalize the documentation and officially announce the new contract. Barring any administrative obstacles, Raphinha will be bound to FC Barcelona until 2030, concluding a negotiation publicly supported by Flick and already communicated by the sports management.
