Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal have made a bold move to sign Barcelona winger Raphinha, tabling a €100 million bid alongside a lucrative four-year contract worth $200 million, according to Sport.
The 27-year-old Brazilian has emerged as a key figure under Hansi Flick this season, registering an impressive 30 goals and 23 assists in 40 appearances across all competitions.
His form has made him integral to Barcelona’s resurgence and sparked early talk of a 2025 Ballon d’Or nomination.
Despite multiple previous attempts from Saudi clubs to lure him away, Raphinha opted to stay at Camp Nou last summer.
However, Al-Hilal remain undeterred and are now pushing harder with a financial package that dwarfs his current earnings in Spain.
Sources close to the player suggest that Raphinha is not currently interested in leaving Barcelona.
The winger and his family are reportedly settled in Spain, and he remains committed to competing for top European honors.
However, ongoing contract talks with the Catalan club have reportedly stalled.
Raphinha’s current deal runs until 2027, but he is believed to be one of the lowest-paid key players in the squad.
The disparity between his output and earnings has become a sticking point in renewal negotiations.
While the player seeks a revised wage structure that reflects his contributions, Barcelona are reluctant to commit to a long-term pay increase due to ongoing financial constraints.
