Raphinha signs Barcelona contract extension through 2030
FC Barcelona forward Raphinha has secured a contract extension with the club through 2030, following a period of exceptional form. Sporting Director Deco confirmed the agreement, which aims to stabilize the squad and secure key talent. Raphinha, who has expressed a desire to retire at Barcelona, has become a central figure under manager Hansi Flick, often playing in a more advanced role.
During the 2026/27 season, Raphinha has set significant scoring milestones. In a recent La Liga match against Sevilla, he scored a hat-trick to lead Barcelona to a 3-1 victory, maintaining the team's perfect start to the season with seven consecutive wins. This performance brought his league tally to 12 goals in seven matches, surpassing previous scoring records held by Lionel Messi for the club and placing him near Cristiano Ronaldo’s historical early-season benchmarks.
In addition to Raphinha’s renewal, the club is also finalizing new contracts for young talents Marc Bernal and Xavi Espart to ensure long-term continuity.
