It's time to renew the contract, the idea of Barça is for the Brazilian to stay until 2030 with a reasonable exit clause starting in 2026. After the World Cup, there is an option to leave while generating transfer money in an agreement similar to the one reached with Araujo. Salary among the highest paid and a buyout that will drop from the current 1000 million to 100 million after the World Cup.
Lamine Yamal is receiving all the praise. Even a Ballon d'Or. Lewandowski scores the goals and is the reference in the area of a team of crosses and shots and second-line entries. Pedri and Gavi in the midfield with Casadó as another one who is accumulating praise, but if there is one indisputable, it is Raphinha. He has earned it, only Andrei –
right-back of Rayo Vallecano -- runs faster than him. A sprinter, a player who breaks the lines of the opposing team with his runs and when his team loses the ball, he is voracious whether in pressing or in retreating.
With the ball, there is no player who makes more efforts at high intensity. In meters covered at over 21 kilometers per hour, only Cardona, Villarreal, has more than the 515 meters on average at his peak maximum of the Brazilian. At over 24 kilometers per hour, Raphinha remains the leader with another 330 meters to add to the 515 in the range between 21 and 24 kilometers per hour. At over 28 kilometers, 135 meters. A beast. Raphinha has ended up convincing everyone with his value at the collective level. A player with a development similar to that of Di María at Real Madrid, where he was signed to play on the outside and ended up being unbalancing on the inside. He finishes in 2027, he is already indisputable in Flick's plans and what months ago was a transferable player is now a footballer who needs to be renewed. Deco celebrates it. His sports director was the agent who brought him in. A complete success.
