Barça has a free hand to extend its new star. According to SportRaphinha (27 years old) would only have eyes for FC Barcelona and would like to extend the adventure in Catalonia. Author of a thunderous start to the season (9 goals, 8 assists in 13 matches in all competitions), the Brazilian winger delights the Blaugrana even though he was pushed out just a few months ago.
Despite the offers, the former Rennais stuck to his desire to stay in Barcelona and it is now paying off. Having become one of the captains since the arrival of Hansi Flick, the Auriverde international (29 caps, 9 goals) was able to reverse the trend by establishing himself as one of the executives of this Barça returning to the top, as evidenced by his victory (4-1) this week against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
