At Barcelona, there is satisfaction with the Brazilian winger, yet the club would consider an offer around 80 million euros.
Raphael Dias Belloli, known as Raphinha, feels at home in Barcelona. He has integrated well into the dressing room, adapts to life in the city, and is content with his role on the team. The club is pleased with his performances. Still, the reality is clear: Barcelona must increase revenue, reduce wage costs, and address financial fair play restrictions. The path forward involves bringing in free agents to minimize transfer outlays and, above all, selling well to secure a net gain. Raphinha’s value is a crucial piece in that plan. The Brazilian, like other first-team players, does not carry an untouchable status. GOAL has learned that if a strong offer arrives, Barcelona will be ready to listen and evaluate it. If not, given the club’s financial pressures, letting him go would be seen as irresponsible. Barcelona maintains that Raphinha is highly valued and would only depart if the terms were exceptionally favorable for the club.
It is worth recalling that last summer Barcelona paid Leeds United 58 million euros as a fixed fee, plus an additional 7 million in bonuses, some of which were easier to achieve and others more challenging to meet. Raphinha signed a five-year contract with a salary of 6 million euros net per season (12 million gross), which would translate into a total outlay of around 60 million if he fulfills the contract in full with Barcelona. In practical terms, the annual cost to Barça is about 23 million euros (11.6 million for the transfer fee distribution plus 12 million gross salary).
From July 1, Raphinha would still be under a four-year contract with Barcelona, with 46 million euros remaining on the signing bonus amortization, separate from the player’s personal file. For that reason, Barcelona would only consider a departure if a bid exceeded 80 million euros. Such a bid would deliver a clear premium value on the transfer.
In a market broadly in retreat, the Premier League stands out as the only major league capable of handling a deal of this scale. Raphinha has a strong profile in English football, having made his mark at Leeds United, and the English route remains a real alternative. Chelsea had shown interest last summer and had reached an agreement to sign him. At the final stage, Todd Boehly pulled back, and the player joined Barcelona instead. That decision still resonates in London, where the player remains highly regarded. Three months remain in the season, and the summer window promises to be long. At Barcelona, the message is steady and clear: they are happy with Raphinha and not actively seeking a sale. However, the door is open to a sale if a bid around 80 million euros arrives this summer.
