Raphinha Transfer from FC Barcelona to Al Hilal
Raphinha confirmed the existence of a hugely lucrative offer from Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League, which includes a €100m transfer fee to Barcelona and a €220m contract over five years. Although he acknowledged the life-changing nature of the offer, he indicated that he is more inclined to pursue his dreams in Europe, especially after a successful 2024/25 campaign with Barcelona. Raphinha mentioned that if the offer had come last summer, he might have accepted it due to personal circumstances at that time.
Al Hilal made a substantial offer to Barcelona for Raphinha, proposing a transfer fee of 100 million and a four-year contract worth 200 million for the player. In an interview with TNT Sports Brasil, Raphinha expressed surprise at the high offer, noting that a year ago he might have accepted it due to his mental state at the time. Now, however, he feels he has much more to contribute to Barcelona and values his opportunity to continue representing the national team.
Al Hilal has made an exorbitant offer to Raphinha, proposing a contract until 2029 with an annual salary of 50 million Euros. Over four years, Raphinha would earn a total of 200 million Euros. Al Hilal is also planning to start negotiations with FC Barcelona soon, proposing a transfer fee of over 100 million Euros. Despite FC Barcelona's desire to keep Raphinha, they might consider the offer if it reaches a three-digit million sum. The report comes from the Catalan sports outlet 'Sport'.
Saudi Arabia, specifically Al-Hilal, is seriously targeting Raphinha, who is currently with FC Barcelona until 2028. Raphinha's exceptional season has caught their attention. Initial reports suggested a 100 million euros offer to Barcelona and a 15 million euros annual salary to Raphinha. Recently, Al-Hilal revised the offer to a contract until 2029 with a 50 million euros annual salary, totaling a 300 million euros package including transfer and salary.
Raphinha, currently playing for Barcelona, received a lucrative offer from Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia. Despite the significant financial incentives, he declined the offer to remain at Barcelona, prioritizing his chances to play in the 2026 World Cup. Instead, he is expected to extend his contract with Barcelona.
Raphinha, currently excelling at FC Barcelone under coach Hansi Flick, is being targeted by Al-Hilal from Saudi Arabia. The club is preparing a substantial offer of 100 million euros to acquire the Brazilian winger. Additionally, a net annual salary of 15 million euros awaits him in Riyadh. The decision now rests on Raphinha to see if he will accept this lucrative opportunity.
Raphinha rejected huge offers from Al Hilal during the summer transfer window to stay at Barcelona.
Earlier it was reported that an 80 million euro offer for Raphinha had arrived at the Catalan club. It remains unknown which club made the offer, but it was speculated that all four major Saudi clubs, Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad, and Al-Ahli, were willing to pay this amount.
According to multiple media sources in Spain, Al-Hilal offered 100 million euros to Barcelona for Raphinha during the summer. The Saudi club also put forth a salary offer of 25 million euros annually for the Brazilian player, but he declined the move without much hesitation.
Raphinha wanted to stay at Barcelona despite having very good offers to leave. Al-Hilal offered him a net salary of 25 million EUR per year for four years and 100 million EUR to Barcelona as a transfer fee. Barcelona was willing to accept the offer, but Raphinha refused, which quadrupled his potential income.
Raphinha had previously been linked with a move to Al Hilal.
Raphinha would need to leave FC Barcelona to make way for Luis Díaz. Al Hilal has shown interest in him.
Despite Raphinha's good season with Barcelona, the Catalan club continues to not rule out a possible sale of the player. Therefore, news of some potential interested parties starts to emerge from Spain, this time with a focus on Saudi Arabia. According to Mundo Deportivo, one of the four largest Saudi clubs (Al Nassr, Al Hilal, Al Ittihad and Al Ahli) is willing to pay very well for the services of the Brazilian international. A potential proposal from one of these clubs is seen with good eyes by the Catalans. The most difficult part will be to convince Raphinha himself. According to the mentioned media, the Brazilian winger has already rejected a proposal from Saudi Arabia as both he and his family are happy in Barcelona. For now, the former Sporting only thinks of leaving the Catalan club if he receives a good offer from a top Premier League club.
