Barcelona and the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) have agreed how much Raphinha will play on international duty, according to AS. The winger has been called up for friendlies against Japan on 14 November and Singapore on 17 November, both at the National Stadium in Singapore. The aim is to avoid a relapse or a new injury.
Raphinha has been hurt three times in Brazil colours this year, on 26 March, 20 June and 29 September. Two of the setbacks came in friendlies with nothing at stake, and the third at the World Cup, AS reports.
ge reports that Carlo Ancelotti's staff have looked at bringing forward a surgery, even though Barcelona was reluctant, so that Raphinha would not miss Brazil's last friendlies of 2026. According to ge, the issue has not caused friction inside the squad.
Raphinha is 29 and plays as a centre-forward. Transfermarkt puts his market value at €70m, while Golviva's valuation is €57m. His contract with Barcelona runs until June 2030. This season he has 11 appearances, 15 goals and 3 assists.
