Although the prospect of playing in Saudi Arabia has lost his sheen due to the ongoing geopolitical conflict in the region, the country remains determined to continue the trend of signing big stars in football.
As it appears, Raphinha is their next big target, with the Barcelona forward having a contract at Barcelona that expires in 2028.
However, the former Leeds United starlet has shown no signs of wanting to leave Barcelona and remains committed to the project.
Raphinha is regarded highly at Barcelona and barring injuries, he has had a wonderful season under Hansi Flick, whose continuation as head coach should go a long way in securing the long-term future of the Brazilian.
For now, Raphinha will be solely focusing on recovering from his injury and getting ready for the upcoming FIFA World Cup, where he will play a central role for his country, alongside Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Jr.
