Raphinha pens new Barcelona deal to 2030
Raphinha has signed a new four-year contract with Barcelona, after a stunning start to the 2026-2027 campaign.
The Brazilian has been in red-hot form since the start of the season and has now put pen to paper on a new deal that will keep him at Camp Nou until June 2030.
Raphinha joined Barcelona in July 2022 and has since made 190 appearances in all competitions, while winning three LaLiga titles, a Copa del Rey and three Supercopa de Espanas.
He has netted 94 goals in total as well as provided 55 assists, with no player recording more goal involvements or chances created for the club in all competitions since his debut.
Only Robert Lewandowski has scored more goals than Raphinha in that time, with only Lamine Yamal bettering his assist tally.
This season, Raphinha has scored 15 goals in 10 games in LaLiga, becoming only the second player to reach this tally after his first 10 appearances of a campaign in the competition in the 21st century, after Cristiano Ronaldo with Real Madrid in 2014-15.
The Brazilian netted a brace against Aston Villa on Wednesday in the Champions League to help Barcelona to a 3-0 win, which moved them up to fifth in the 36-team standings.
Raphinha is averaging a goal every 48.6 minutes, and his shot conversion rate of 45.2 percent is also higher than any other player in the Barcelona squad.
