Under Flick, Raphinha flourished in the 2024/25 season, scoring 34 goals and providing 23 assists to form a formidable wing partnership with Lamine Yamal for the Catalans. In the just-ended campaign, however, injuries limited his appearances, with the winger featuring in 24 fewer matches than the previous term.
According to the report, Barcelona are convinced that, even if a new offer were to arrive, Raphinha would again spurn a move to Saudi Arabia in order to make a third attempt, alongside coach Flick, to triumph in the Champions League after winning two LaLiga titles.
