After the extension with Hansi Flick, FC Barcelona also bound the player, who may have the largest proportion of the success of the Catalans this season: Raphinha. As the Spanish champion and cup winner announced, the 28 -year -old foreign striker had reached an extension of an extension by one year by 2028. The Brazilian international signed the new contract on Thursday.
Raphinha is considered one of the players who have benefited the most from Flick’s commitment. Among predecessors Xavi, the influence and goal yield of the attacker were already good, but the transfer fee of 58 million euros paid in 2022 was only more than just this season. Raphinha contributed 59 goal participations in 56 games so far (34 goals/25 templates). In Europe’s top 5 leagues, no player comes to more scorer points.
Raphinha, who is one of the favorites to win the balloon d’Or 2025, increased its market value to 80 million euros this season. In Barcelona’s squad, only 17-year-old Lamine Yamal with 180 million and director Pedri (22) are estimated with EUR 120 million higher. The latter is already bound by 2030. Lamine Yamal currently has a contract that expires in 2026, which, according to the association, is preferred to be extended in the long term.
