Starlet handed long-term deal
Barcelona starlet Rafinha is understood to have agreed a new contract with the European champions.
The 18-year-old Brazilian-born midfielder is the brother of current Barca first-teamer Thiago.
He made his first-team debut earlier this month in the Copa del Rey, and his progress has seen him rewarded with a new three-and-a-half-year deal.
The teenager is set to put pen-to-paper this week in a move that will see interest from abroad fended off.
"Rafa is very happy in this club and for him he is not thinking of change," Thiago said.
