Raphinha and Barcelona would be far from an agreement on a contract extension, the two parties in disagreement on almost all aspects of a new agreement.
On the ground, things could barely get much better for Raphinha or Barcelona. After returning to importance under the new manager Hansi Flick, the Brazilian forced his way in the conversation of the Ballon d’Or with a return of 30 goals and 23 assists in 49 games in all competitions.
This form has stung the interest of a number of clubs. In the Premier League, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United have been speculatively named, while it is considered an important interest on the part of Saudi Arabia.
Raphinha, for his part, wants to stay in Barcelona and the officials in Catalonia want a new contract to be soon agreed, but SPORT Note that there is a significant distance between the two parts at this stage.
Not only was Raphinha was not impressed by the salary proposed by Barcelona, ​​but the 28 -year -old player does not agree with the duration of the contract suggested during the first negotiations.
Barcelona would have proposed a one -year guaranteed extension, agreeing at 2028, plus the option of an additional 12 months. Raphinha would be after at least two years guaranteed – something that club officials are reluctant to make concerns about the distribution of significant wages for aging players. He will approach his 31st anniversary at the time of the expiration of his current contract.
Regarding finances, Raphinha also thinks that he deserves more than Barcelona currently offers it. There is no figure mentioned but the Brazilian wants to see his importance for the side reflected in his salary.
The only point of agreement between Barcelona and Raphinha is his liberation clause. The two parties are paid over a sum of around 80 million euros (68.3 million pounds sterling) – considered as a reasonable figure for a player of his age further.
Currently, the two parties are relaxed in the situation, knowing that Raphinha has two more years in his current agreement and wishes to extend his stay at the club. Negotiations will continue and Barcelona hopes for rapid resolution before this problem becomes something important.
