Raphinha isn't going anywhere. The Brazilian forward has renewed his contract with Barcelona until 2030, and he does it while scoring freely.

He has become Barça's number 9, and even he admits the numbers surprise him. He told reporters he dreams of retiring as a Barcelona player.

A fitness warning before Atlético

There is one caveat. Raphinha says he isn't arriving at 100% for the match at the Metropolitano, Atlético Madrid's stadium, where Diego Simeone's side awaits.

Warm words for Yamal and a chat with Ancelotti

He also praised teammate Lamine Yamal. And he revealed that he has spoken with Carlo Ancelotti, Brazil's coach, about his minutes with the national team.

How we got here

Barcelona signed him from Leeds United in July 2022 after a long pursuit. In 2024-25 he scored more than 30 goals as the club won La Liga and the Copa del Rey (Spain's cup). Now the club has tied him down for the long term.
