Al Hilal Submit Record-Breaking Offer for Barcelona Star Raphinha
Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal have reportedly submitted a staggering offer to secure the services of FC Barcelona winger Raphinha — a proposal that could reshape the future of both the player and the Catalan club.
According to multiple sources, Al Hilal is offering a total package worth €300 million, with €100 million earmarked as the transfer fee to Barcelona and a jaw-dropping €200 million net salary for the player over a four-year contract. That equates to €50 million per season, tax-free.
The 28-year-old Brazilian is enjoying a career-best season under Hansi Flick, registering 30 goals and 23 assists in 49 appearances across all competitions. His performances have been instrumental in Barcelona’s push for a domestic treble, with the club currently leading La Liga, preparing for a Champions League semi-final, and facing Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final.
Raphinha is currently under contract at Camp Nou until June 30, 2027, and Barcelona had been planning to offer an extension. However, this unprecedented offer from Saudi Arabia could force the club to reconsider its stance.
Ultimately, the final decision rests with Raphinha himself, who now faces a pivotal moment in his career. Will he stay and cement his status as a Barça icon — or pursue one of the most lucrative contracts in football history?
More clarity is expected in the coming days as negotiations progress.
