Raphinha Transfer from FC Barcelona to Al Hilal
Al Hilal has identified Raphinha as a primary target for the upcoming transfer window and has re-established contact to sign the Barcelona player. Raphinha has indicated that he will not discuss his future until the World Cup has concluded. The Riyadh club expressed interest before the tournament began and is keen to move forward with negotiations. Raphinha firmly stated he would not discuss the matter while he is focused on the Brazil national team. The current contact from Al Hilal follows a previous offer made two years ago, which was for R$1.1 billion for a four-year contract after the Copa América. The forward rejected the offer because of Hansi Flick's arrival at the Catalan club and his wish to participate in the World Cup. During an interview with ESPN in October 2025, Raphinha admitted that the proposal from Saudi Arabia had a strong effect on him and that it would have secured the financial future of himself and his family. The current contact is in its initial phase, and Raphinha is aware that the delay caused by the World Cup could lead the Saudi club to pursue other options, but this awareness does not alter his position.
