After putting pen to paper, the 29-year-old Brazilian is expected to address the media at the club's Commercial Office. His previous agreement was due to expire in the summer of 2028, meaning the new contract will extend his commitment to Barcelona by another two years.

The renewal comes at an extraordinary moment in Raphinha's career.
