Key Barcelona winger has a lucrative contract offer from Qatar – report | OneFootball

FC Barcelona have already made their big move this summer with the signing of Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United.

Another top centre-forward is being targeted by the Catalans, although they might need one or two departures in the summer in order to create room for any more new arrivals.

In that regard, one of the club’s ‘untouchables’, Raphinha, is being linked with a shock departure of late, with growing interest from Saudi Arabian giants Al Hilal.

Now, according to Catalunya Radio (h/t FCB World), Raphinha also has a lucrative contract offer from an unnamed club in Qatar, who have proposed a very high salary to the winger.

It must be noted that the Brazilian international has already turned down financially attractive offers to stay with the Catalans in the past.

However, as per the report, the Barça key winger and captain says that the summer is very long, indicating that things might happen.

In case of an exit, the Blaugrana will receive an enormous fee, considering his form, importance to the team as well as his contract, which runs until the summer of 2028.

Decision after the World Cup

As things stand, Raphinha is fully focused on the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America, where he is a part of the Brazil setup.

Not so long ago, he reiterated his commitment to Barcelona in the long-term, saying:

“As long as my body holds up and allows me, I will keep giving everything and giving the best of myself at Barça… and also with the Selecao.”

However, as reported earlier, the winger intends to hold talks with Al Hilal about a potential move once the tournament comes to a closure.

It may suggest that the attacker, one of Hansi Flick’s most trusted lieutenants on the pitch, is not closing the door on a summer exit.

And a lucrative proposal from the Qatari club could prove to be tempting for the 29-year-old star.
