Raphinha Weighs Barcelona Future as Saudi Interest Grows

A potential €90 million Saudi bid would test Barcelona’s resolve against its budget needs.

Overview

  • Raphinha has told Barcelona he is unsure about staying and will make a final decision after the season.
  • Club leaders, including coach Hansi Flick and sporting director Deco, want him to stay and are not pushing for a quick answer.
  • The winger has been medically cleared and is expected to be used off the bench against Real Madrid, according to local reports.
  • Saudi Pro League clubs are preparing a possible €90 million offer, and Barcelona say they will only evaluate the situation if a formal written bid arrives.
  • Injuries and the Champions League exit have fueled his doubts, with the club linking his setbacks to an all‑out playing style despite a productive year on the pitch.
