Barca to renew Rafinha deal

Barcelona will close the renewal of Rafinha’s contract despite his lengthy injury in a show of faith in the midfielder.

Mundo Deportivo reports the parties were about to sign off on a five-year contract extension, with Rafinha’s existing terms expiring in 2016.

Rafinha was on Thursday confirmed as suffering an anterior ligament tear against Roma and ruled out for most of the rest of the 2015-16 season.

But Barcelona will honour the agreement with the Brazil international and finalise his new contract to demonstrate the confidence they have in him.
