Barcelona captain Raphinha is set to sign a contract extension with the club running until 2030, sporting director Deco says. Multiple outlets report that the agreement follows discussions at Barcelona, with Deco describing it as already settled and about to be formalized.
The reports also place the announcement in the context of Barcelona’s wider contract and squad planning. The Athletic adds that Raphinha indicated the new terms for fellow Barcelona players from La Masia—Xavi Espart and Marc Bernal—are also "sorted out" this week. Vanguard and The Punch focus primarily on the extension itself, while The Athletic provides more detail about additional contract updates.
Across the coverage, the common point is that Barcelona is moving to secure Raphinha for the long term. The outlets do not provide further specifics on salary, release clauses, or the exact timing of the signature beyond the stated expectation of an extension to 2030.
