“I have a few more years on my contract, and I plan to fulfill them. I have already said many times that signing for Barcelona was a dream, and I will do everything possible to stay here for many years,” he said.

Raphinha’s contract with Barcelona is set to expire in 2027. Despite facing tough competition for a spot in the team and the possibility of new signings, he is confident that he can contribute to the club’s success in the long run.
