Raghouber spent the second half of last season on loan in La Liga with Levante, where he made 16 appearances.
He now joins Burnley as the squad prepares for the new Championship season under head coach Nicky Hayen.
The defensive midfielder arrives alongside Spanish winger Lluc Castell as part of the summer transfer business at Turf Moor.
Raghouber appears to be a direct replacement for Florentino Luis, who is nearing a transfer to Premier League newcomers Hull City.
"Once I heard of the interest in coming here, I knew I wanted to get the move done," said Raghouber.
The midfielder expressed his enthusiasm for joining the Championship club and embarking on the next stage of his career.
"I'm now ready for the next chapter in my career and to give my all for this club and the fans," he added.
Speaking after a friendly against Ajax, Burnley head coach Nicky Hayen addressed the team's pursuit of new signings ahead of an upcoming friendly against Espanyol.
"That's a possibility. We have a list with a lot of players," said Hayen.
Hayen emphasized that the club prioritizes players who display strong commitment and dedication to the team's goals.
