Raphinha, after renewing his contract until June 30th, 2028, assured that his intention is to play for the ‘Cules’ until the end of his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brazilian striker Raphael Dias ‘Raphinha’ assured on Thursday, after extending his contract with Barcelona until June 30th, 2028, that his \u201cdream\u201d is to play for the Catalan team \u201cuntil the end\u201d of his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI leave here very happy. I have achieved a personal goal and I hope I can continue to give the fans a lot of joy. My dream is to be here until the end of my career and I hope to continue giving my best,\u201d said the attacker in statements to the Catalan club’s media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 28-year-old Brazilian is one of the stars of the season in world football, as in less than a year he has gone from being close to moving to Saudi Arabia, according to his own admission, to becoming one of the stars of Hansi Flick’s Barca and extending his contract with the Catalan giants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This season, his third in Barcelona, he has beaten the best records of his career: 34 goals and 22 assists in 4,567 minutes in 56 matches -with one game left to play-, 52 as a starter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this sense, the Brazilian international confessed that he hopes to \u201ccontinue scoring many goals and providing many assists\u201d to continue winning \u201cmany titles\u201d with the blue and white jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI hope I can win titles every year, participate in the bus parade and see people happy with what we have given during the season. That’s my goal,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raphinha, who signed for Barcelona in the summer of 2022 from English side Leeds, admitted that he has \u201cmatured a lot\u201d since joining the Catalan side and was ambitious in stating that he can still grow \u201ca lot more\u201d with everyone’s help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow I’m the Raphinha dad, the captain, the guy who has to be more responsible than when he arrived, which is not to say I wasn’t before, but the years go by and you become more mature,\u201d he reflected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Porto Alegre striker also said he is \u201canxious\u201d to return to play at the Spotify Camp Nou, which will once again host official first-team matches from September, according to the club’s plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
