Overview
- Barcelona and Raphinha signed the multi-year extension at Camp Nou with president Joan Laporta in attendance on Thursday, November 5, 2026.
- Raphinha has been central to Barcelona’s start to the season, with 19 goals and three assists in 13 matches this campaign and 94 goals in 190 appearances since joining in 2022.
- The player said he is still not fully recovered from a right-thigh muscle edema sustained in September and has discussed managing his minutes with Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti ahead of November friendlies.
- Reports from ESPN cited by local outlets say the new deal includes a salary increase that makes Raphinha one of the club’s highest-paid players alongside Lamine Yamal, a move that will affect Barcelona’s wage structure and roster planning.
- Raphinha used the ceremony to express long-term commitment and a goal to win the UEFA Champions League with Barcelona, and the club framed the extension as part of keeping its core attacking group while it negotiates other renewals.
