Raphinha Not Working With Agents, Player Not Considering Barcelona Exit

Spanish newspaper "Sport" reported that Barcelona player Raphinha is not working with any agents, a clear indication of his strong desire to remain with the Catalan club for a long time.

The 28-year-old signed a contract extending until 2028 after his latest renewal and has no intention of changing his current team. All agencies that have contacted him have received a clear message: he does not wish for any of them to negotiate a potential departure from the Catalan club.

Raphinha represents an attractive opportunity for player agents, with Transfermarkt valuing his market worth at approximately 90 million euros. However, any agency he might choose would not be able to secure a lucrative deal through his transfer, as Raphinha wants to stay at Barcelona, and the club itself has no intention of letting him go.

Barcelona views selling Raphinha as a significant sporting setback. This has become evident in recent weeks following his injury, as the Brazilian player has returned with remarkable strength, demonstrating a clear impact on leadership, in addition to his contributions with goals and assists for his teammates.

The newspaper indicated that next summer would be tempting if Raphinha delivers a high-level performance in the World Cup, and major European clubs or Saudi clubs might resume their pursuit, but they will find the door closed, as the player and his family are happy in Barcelona.
