Barcelona’s management wants to renew Raphinha’s contract in the next few months as a reward for his remarkable brilliance this season, but in the style of Ronald Araujo.
The Uruguayan international renewed his contract last January after much controversy, but left the door open for his departure in the summer by including a penalty clause within the reach of European clubs for a certain period.
According to the newspaper “Mundo Deportivo”, Barcelona wants to repeat the same thing with Raphinha, renewing while keeping the chances of his exit open, an option that the player also welcomes.
The initial negotiations between Raphinha and Barcelona are very positive and promising, and the player is initially very close to renewing his contract with the Catalan club until the summer of 2030.
The 27-year-old is very happy at Camp Nou and feels like a leader and is living his best footballing moments, so his main focus is on Barça and he does not intend to leave soon in any way.
Sportingly, Raphinha is fully aware that Barcelona is the best option for him, but economically there are much better opportunities for him, whether in Europe or in Saudi Arabia.
This season, Raphinha has participated in 38 matches, scoring 24 goals and making 18 others in all competitions.
