Barcelona winger Raphinha has disclosed a lucrative potential contract to join the Saudi Pro League but expresses a preference to stay in Catalonia. After struggling last year, he has experienced a remarkable turnaround, making him a Ballon d'Or contender. He confirmed the Saudi offer was appealing last year during a difficult period but now feels differently, focusing on dreams rather than financial incentives. With an impressive season tally of 53 goals and assists, Raphinha's ambitions are shifting, suggesting growth beyond monetary concerns.
"Someone sent me news of the offer from Saudi Arabia, and honestly, I was very surprised because the numbers are very, very high. Honestly, if I had received this offer last year, I think I would have gone."
"At that time, I was in a bit of a psychological breakdown, and this offer would solve everything in my life, my wife's life, and my family's life. It was an amount of money that would change our lives completely."
"With this season panning out how it has... he is more 'closed' to money and 'open' to dreams."
