FC Barcelona: Raphinha responds cash to the interest of Saudi Arabia

FC Barcelona wishes to extend Raphinha, under contract until 2027, but negotiations are skating. After Sportdiscussions between the Blaugrana club and the Brazilian winger extend due to two major discord points: duration and salary.

Barça offers an extension of one year with an option for an additional year, when Raphinha, author of the best season of his career, claims two years. In addition, the international Auriverde is not satisfied. His agents ask for an additional wage effort to endorse the agreement. If the two camps agree on a release clause around 80 million euros, the risks of seeing the situation drag on are real, despite Hansi Flick's desire to keep his player, courted by Saudi Arabia.
