Brazilian winger Raphinha has clarified his position on reports linking him with a potential departure from Barcelona, insisting that any discussion about his future should take place calmly and directly with the club.
His comments come amid media reports suggesting interest from Saudi clubs, as well as speculation that Barcelona could consider a major sale for financial reasons.
According to European reports, Raphinha does not currently see leaving as his preferred option and views himself as part of Barcelona’s plans, with his contract running until 2028.
The player remains open to speaking with the club about his future, but he does not want transfer speculation to become a distraction before the season is settled.
Raphinha’s stance is significant for Barcelona as the club looks to maintain sporting stability while preparing for major decisions in the summer market.
