The 29-year-old arrived in Barcelona from Leeds United in July 2022, in a transfer valued at around €58 million. His previous contract extension was agreed only last year, but both player and club had already made clear that another longer-term arrangement was the intention.
Sporting director Deco had indicated that the two sides had reached an understanding, while Raphinha has spoken of his wish to finish his playing career at Barcelona. The formal signing now gives that ambition a more tangible shape.
Raphinha had been working on penalty kicks during Brazil duty, but he was unavailable for the Seleção’s friendly against India. Barcelona expect him back on the pitch when Getafe visit on Saturday, the club’s first fixture after the international pause.
