Raphinha Agrees New Barcelona Contract Until 2030 — Announcement Expected Friday
Barcelona have reached an agreement with Raphinha over a new contract that will keep the Brazilian forward at the club until June 2030.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the player has already completed the agreement with Barcelona, with the final details approved by his representatives and legal team.
The remaining step is for the club to complete the necessary documentation before formally announcing the renewal.
If everything proceeds according to schedule, Barcelona could confirm the deal and hold Raphinha's signing ceremony as early as Friday.
Raphinha’s Renewal Is Effectively Complete
The negotiations between Barcelona and Raphinha's camp have now concluded, meaning the renewal is effectively sealed.
His existing contract was previously due to expire in 2028, but the new agreement will extend his stay at Camp Nou for another two seasons, taking him through June 2030.
The renewal comes relatively soon after his previous extension in May 2025, further demonstrating how highly Barcelona value the Brazilian within their long-term sporting plans.
Barcelona sporting director Deco had already indicated in September that another two-year extension for Raphinha was being prepared.
Now, with the agreement completed, only the official announcement remains.

Why Barcelona Wanted to Keep Raphinha
Raphinha's importance to Barcelona extends well beyond his goals and assists.
The Brazilian has become one of Hansi Flick's most trusted players, offering relentless work rate, direct running and the ability to change matches from multiple attacking positions.
His attacking numbers have also strengthened Barcelona's decision to secure his future.
According to the figures provided, Raphinha had already scored 12 goals in La Liga and 14 across his first eight matches of the campaign.
Those numbers underline the level of influence he has developed since becoming an increasingly central figure in Flick's system.
Rather than allowing uncertainty to surround one of their most productive attackers, Barcelona have chosen to secure his long-term future.
Raphinha Remains Central to Barcelona’s Project
The new agreement represents a major vote of confidence from Barcelona.
When the contract expires in 2030, Raphinha will be approaching his 34th birthday, meaning the club are committing to him well into the later stages of his career.
That decision reflects the belief within the club that his professionalism, physical condition and footballing intelligence will allow him to remain an important contributor for years to come.
With Raphinha's future now effectively settled, Barcelona can turn their attention toward other contract situations while continuing to build their squad around a core group of trusted players.
For now, the Brazilian's future is clear: Raphinha is set to remain a Barcelona player until 2030.
