Barcelona winger Raphinha signed a contract extension until 2028 Thursday after a spectacular season.
The Brazilian, whose previous deal was set to expire in 2027, was vital as Barca won a domestic treble of LaLiga, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup.
"Barcelona and Raphinha have reached an agreement for the renewal of his contract, which will link him to the club until June 30, 2028," said the Catalan giants in a statement.
Raphinha, a candidate to win the Ballon d'Or, has scored 34 goals and provided 25 assists in 56 matches across all competitions.
The 28-year old is the joint top goalscorer in the Champions League with 13, but Barca were knocked out in a thrilling semi-final tie against Inter Milan.
He netted a hat-trick in Barca's group stage win over Bayern Munich and a brace in the recent Clasico win over Real Madrid which took Barca to the verge of their LaLiga conquest.
Raphinha's contract renewal follows coach Hansi Flick's Wednesday, with the German penning a new deal until 2027.
Teenage winger Lamine Yamal, 17, is also expected to sign a new contract in the coming weeks.
His agent Jorge Mendes told reporters "he will renew (his deal) soon", after having lunch with Yamal on the outskirts of Barcelona Thursday.
Raphinha and Yamal have been devastating on the flanks for Barca, either side of veteran striker Robert Lewandowski.
The Catalans have scored 99 goals in 37 LaLiga matches and are hoping to pass a century Sunday when they visit Athletic Bilbao in the last match of the season.
Raphinha arrived in 2022 from Leeds United for around £55m ($74m) and helped Barca win LaLiga in his first season.
However he came close to leaving the club after a disappointing 2023-24 campaign, but was convinced to stay by Flick.
