Raphinha is the top scorer and passer in Barça this season, and has an exceptional season in Catalonia.
According to Jijantes, the sports director Deco met his agent on Friday to discuss a new contract. His current contract expires in 2027, which means that Barcelona will seek either to sell it this summer or to extend it.
According to this information, Deco would have discussed the details of the new Raphinha contract with the club, even if the discussions are only in their early days. The Blaugrana are delighted with Raphinha's attitude and performance last year.
What happened during their previous negotiations?
This follows the first series of negotiations, during which it had been reported that Raphinha was not satisfied with the initial proposal of Barcelona for a new contract. It was noted that the Blaugrana wanted to extend his lease for an additional season, with an option of one year, while Raphinha wanted two more years. Despite rumors of dissatisfaction, Raphinha is now also in the crosshairs of three giants of the Premier League.
What Barcelona strategy should he adopt with Raphinha?
The 28 -year -old has played a decisive role for Barcelona this season, scoring 30 goals and delivering 25 assists in just 51 games so far. However, rumors circulated earlier in the year that some at the club thought that the time was perhaps opportune to capitalize on Raphinha.
This idea is probably founded, especially given its age, but the question is how Barcelona will do it to replace the Brazilian. Raphinha has integrated perfectly into the ideas of Hansi Flick, and Barcelona does not seem to be able to recruit a talent capable of providing so much performance.
