His status inside the dressing room has also grown, with the Brazilian now serving as one of Barcelona\u2019s captains and enjoying strong backing from both the coaching staff and the club\u2019s sporting leadership.<\/p>\n<p>According to Barca Blaugranes, Barcelona are planning to open talks with Raphinha over a new contract after the player once again demonstrated his importance to the team at the start of the season. His strong performances have made him one of the key figures in Hansi Flick\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n<p>Raphinha was once again linked with a summer exit from Barcelona, but he ultimately stayed at the club and has made an impressive start to the campaign. His form has strengthened the belief within the club that he remains an important part of Barcelona\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona sporting director Deco has now addressed Raphinha\u2019s future, making it clear that the club wants to keep the Brazilian and intends to speak with him about his contract.
