Raphinha, a 29-year-old Brazilian winger, is moving away from Al Hilal after the Saudi club has advanced in the signing of Crysencio Summerville in this summer transfer window. The deal for the Dutch player includes 55 million pounds fixed and another 10 million in variables.

The signing of the West Ham player fills the left wing position that the Saudi club aimed to reinforce with Raphinha. The Brazilian remains committed to continue as a FC Barcelona player, with a contract until June 30, 2028.

According to Sport, Al Hilal had considered presenting a proposal to both Barcelona and the player. The deal involved a contract larger than what the player currently earns, but the winger did not agree to leave LaLiga to move to Saudi Arabia.

Raphinha remains committed to staying at FC Barcelona

Raphinha's stance has not changed during the transfer window. The Brazilian international wants to stay under Hansi Flick's guidance and compete for a spot in a squad with more attacking options.

The player renewed his contract in May 2025, extending it until 2028, a year beyond the initial expiration date. This contract duration allows the club to control his future without the need to entertain offers during this summer.

The sporting direction had not initiated any process to force his departure. The Saudi interest offered the chance for a substantial income, but any negotiation depended on the player agreeing to leave the team.

Raphinha believes he can still have opportunities at Barça after a season marked by various physical issues. His goal is to regain a spot in the starting eleven and maintain his participation in LaLiga and European competitions.

Al Hilal fills their flank with Crysencio Summerville

Raphinha's refusal led Al Hilal to proceed with another operation. The Saudi club outmaneuvered Roma in the negotiations for Summerville, a 24-year-old Dutch winger who previously played for West Ham.

The proposed deal reaches a maximum of 65 million pounds if all variable conditions are met. The player underwent a medical examination after accepting the contract terms offered from Saudi Arabia.

This move alters the Saudi club's plans. Summerville will fill the position for which they considered signing Raphinha, making a new approach for the Barça attacker both sports-wise and economically irrelevant at this point in the market.

FC Barcelona has also added more competition for the wings but still includes the Brazilian in their plans. The arrival of other attackers broadens Flick's choices without automatically triggering the departure of a player protected by a three-year contract extension.

The market remains open, and new interested parties could emerge, although there is currently no specific deal on the table. Raphinha's next step will be to join FC Barcelona's preparations, while Al Hilal completes Summerville's signing, effectively filling the position they had aimed to strengthen.
