Al Nassr and Al Hilal ready to offer €80m and quadruple Raphinha's salary
According to Mundo Deportivo, Al Nassr and Al Hilal are willing to spend €80 million to sign Raphinha, who is under contract with FC Barcelona until 2028, offering him a salary four times higher than his current deal.
Al Nassr and Al Hilal have tabled an €80 million offer for Raphinha, accompanied by a salary proposal four times higher than what the Brazilian striker currently earns at FC Barcelona, according to Mundo Deportivo. The 29-year-old is tied to the Catalan club until 2028.
The two Saudi clubs, backed by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), had already attempted to lure Raphinha during the previous summer transfer window. They are returning to the charge as the winger experienced a slightly underwhelming 2025-2026 season on an individual level: 21 goals and 8 assists in 33 matches, compared to 34 goals and 26 assists in 57 matches the previous season.
This dip in form is partly explained by repeated injury problems, with Raphinha accumulating 112 days of absence. His unavailability was particularly felt in the Ligue des Champions, where he missed both legs of the quarter-final against Atlético Madrid, which Barça won on aggregate 3-2.
Despite these absences, the Brazilian maintains a high market value. For now, no formal negotiations are underway and Raphinha has not indicated any intention to leave Barcelona. The summer transfer window is only just opening.
