FC Barcelona continues to plan for a bright future, securing the contract renewal of a key player to bolster their squad.

Raphinha, is having a best-ever season at 28 years old and is involved in ongoing contract negotiations while waiting for a solution.

While Lamine Yamal dominated headlines against Inter Milan, another Barcelona attacker was quietly rewriting the history books.

Raphinha looked back at his experience at the club, a few setbacks, and where he thinks he may be heading in the future.

Raphinha has given an astonishingly frank account of the dilemma for modern footballers after receiving a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia.

Raphinha’s contract negotiations are still in early stages, however, initial proposals being discussed are revealing an unexpected approach.

Barcelona backs the notion of extending the player’s contract as part of a structured plan, while the player would favour more variance.
