Barca Winger Considering Saudi Move After 2026
Barcelona’s 28 year old forward Raphinha has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with sporting director Deco: after the 2026 World Cup, he will consider leaving the club to accept a major offer from Saudi Arabia.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the Brazilian attacker—valued at €90 million—still loves playing for Barça, but both sides have a gentleman’s agreement regarding his long term future.
Fans tracking transfer updates on 12BET Malaysia believe his market value will continue rising heading into 2026. For instant football insights, you can always login 12BET.
Raphinha Remains Crucial To Barca Attack
In the 2025–26 La Liga season, Raphinha has delivered 4 goals and 3 assists in 9 appearances.
During his two month injury absence, Barcelona’s attack collapsed and Rashford could not fill the void. His return immediately restored intensity and balance.
Even Atlético manager Diego Simeone praised him: “Raphinha can do everything. I don’t know why he never won the Ballon d’Or.”
This level of form has made him one of the most watched players on 12BET MALAYSIA.
Saudi Clubs Offering Massive Financial Package
Saudi giants have been chasing Raphinha for months, offering extraordinary salary packages.
Although he renewed his contract until 2028 last May, the verbal pact with Deco remains: Raphinha may leave after representing Brazil at the 2026 World Cup, and Barcelona would not block the move.
Transfer reporters highlight that both the fee and salary offered by Saudi clubs are “numbers that make your head spin.”
12BET Malaysia’s transfer odds dashboards have already reacted to the possibility of a mega deal. For the latest market movements, users are encouraged to login 12BET.
Situation Evokes Similarities to Inigo Martinez Exit
Raphinha’s scenario resembles Inigo Martínez’s case this summer.
The veteran defender originally planned to stay and prepare for the new season, but Al Nassr offered him:
-
Over €10 million net salary
-
A 1+1 contract
With such irresistible terms, Barcelona allowed him to leave for free, saving around €14 million in salary expenditure.
Many 12BET MALAYSIA users now expect a similar outcome with Raphinha in 2026.
Multiple Saudi Bids Already Submitted
Catalan radio reports that Barcelona have already received several official proposals for Raphinha. Saudi clubs are pushing aggressively, and the player is fully aware of the massive offers on the table.
Despite the noise, Raphinha maintains exceptional professionalism, staying focused, working hard, and chasing trophies with Barcelona.
Still, as Catalan media stated:
“When an offer reaches astronomical levels, anyone would hesitate.”
Raphinha Has No Agent and Total Loyalty to Barca
Uniquely, Raphinha does not even have a personal agent. Anyone attempting to contact him receives the same answer:
He is not considering leaving Barcelona right now.
But the 2026 World Cup could change everything.
All decisions will be made after July 2026, when Raphinha will finally choose whether to stay at Barcelona or accept a Saudi “golden contract.”
