Raphinha’s Barca forever plan: “I hope to finish my career here”

The Brazilian captain has made it clear that his plan is to stay at Camp Nou until the day he hangs up his boots. His current contract runs until 2028, but with his form at its current level, Raphinha is already ready to put pen to paper on an extension – and potentially make Barcelona the final club of his career."I'm planning to renew my contract," Raphinha told RAC1 ahead of Barcelona's trip to Sevilla tonight (10 pm). "When I signed my previous contract, I signed until 2028 because I thought that by then I would be 30 or 31 and I could make the right decision."I didn't know how I would be playing at that age, but the way I've started this season, I can see that I still have several good years ahead of me. I'm very happy and I want to renew my contract. I hope to finish my career at Barcelona. I don't want to go anywhere else."##EDITORS_CHOICE##Barcelona sporting director Deco has already made it clear that the club would like to extend the winger's contract, meaning Raphinha's ambition appears to be shared by the club.And his form makes it easy to understand why.After taking on the captain's armband and moving into a more central attacking role, Raphinha has spectacularly started the season. He leads the La Liga scoring charts with nine goals, two ahead of Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappe, and has also scored twice in the Champions League.##LINKED_NEWS_69054##The Brazilian has gone from an important Barcelona player to one of the standout performers in world football.
