Raphinha has an answer to the 200 million euro offer

Raphinha stays with Barcelona for another 3 years.

Barcelona's homepage confirmed that Raphinha has just signed a contract extension until 2028. This is a strategic move for both the club and the Brazilian player, especially in the context that he was faced with an "irresistible" offer from Al Hilal.

Al Hilal, a wealthy Saudi Arabian team, is willing to pay Raphinha up to 200 million euros for 4 years, or 50 million euros per season - a figure that could put the player among the highest paid in the world .

The Saudi Arabian club is even willing to pay 100 million euros in transfer fees to Barcelona. After missing out on two stars Mohamed Salah and Vinicius Junior, Al Hilal consider Raphinha a must-have target at all costs.

However, despite the allure of that offer, Raphinha has opted to stay at Camp Nou, a clear sign of the former Leeds United star's faith in the new project under Hansi Flick, who played a key role in keeping him at the club since last summer.

Since joining from Leeds United in 2022, Raphinha has scored 54 goals and provided 50 assists in 143 appearances for Barcelona, ​​an impressive return for a winger. This season, he has been a key player, helping the team win a domestic treble of La Liga, Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup.

Especially in the Champions League, Raphinha contributed to 21 goals (13 goals, 8 assists), equaling Cristiano Ronaldo's achievement in one season at the most prestigious tournament in the continent.

The contract extension is also an affirmation from Barcelona that Raphinha is a pillar of the present and future. In the context of the club's financial difficulties, keeping an important star like Raphinha, instead of selling to balance the budget, shows the clear priority of the board of directors.

Raphinha stays, and Barca can rest assured that they still have solid bricks to build on their ambitions under Hansi Flick.
