Spanish giants Barcelona are set to formally announce a new long‑term contract for their captain, Brazilian forward Raphinha, securing his services until June 2030.
The club confirmed that the agreement will be unveiled in the coming days, extending the winger’s stay at the Camp Nou beyond his current deal.
Raphinha, who joined Barcelona in 2022, has become a key figure in the team’s attack and was appointed captain earlier this season, reflecting his growing influence on and off the pitch.
Barcelona, one of the most successful clubs in La Liga history, has been keen to lock down key players as it rebuilds its squad under the guidance of its current coaching staff.
The forthcoming contract announcement underscores the club’s commitment to retaining its core talent as it aims to compete for domestic and European honours in the coming years.
