According to a latest news report - "Raphinha turned down overtures from Saudi Arabia to remain at Barcelona in the summer even though he was offered lucrative contracts."

Raphinha has become a key figure at FC Barcelona under coach Hansi Flick, solidifying his role as both a top performer on the pitch and a leader in the dressing room. Despite speculation about his future during the summer transfer window, including interest from clubs like Arsenal and Saudi Arabian teams, he chose to stay at Barcelona. 


Arsenal made an attempt to sign the Brazilian international, with former sporting director Edu holding talks to bring him to the Premier League. However, Raphinha wanted assurances of a regular starting role, and ultimately decided to remain at Barcelona. His decision has paid off, as he has outperformed expectations in his first two seasons, leading both on the field and in the locker room. Raphinha has been named one of Barcelona's five club captains and is reportedly in line for a new contract.
"Raphael Dias Belloli, known as Raphinha, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a winger for La Liga club Barcelona and the Brazil national team. Raphinha began his footballing journey with Avaí, but left for Portuguese side Vitória Guimarães in 2016, where he made his professional debut." Source Wikipedia. Born on 14th December 1996 in Porto Alegre, State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil and has played in 12 La Liga matches so far.
