Barcelona winger Raphinha looks ahead to next season despite links out of the club.
Barcelona winger Raphinha already has next season's successes on his mind after Barcelona's league win, despite strong links away from the club.
The 26-year-old only recently joined the Blaugrana from Leeds in the summer of 2022 on a long-term deal; however, their financial straits had condemned them to a summer of sales, and Raphinha is viewed as a sellable asset, but the Brazilian has not shown inclination or desire to leave his 'dream' club.
