DBasia.news – Ivan Rakitic, Barcelona midfielder, has long been associated with two European clubs since last year, namely PSG (Paris Saint-Germain) and Inter Milan.
Les Parisiens was rumored to have set aside a fund of 90 million to be able to hook the Croatian player. Unfortunately, Thomas Tuchel’s squad failed to bring Rakitic to Paris, after the former Sevilla player committed to staying at Barca in the 2018/19 season.
Despite choosing to stay at Barca, Rakitic continues to be rumored to have the chance to leave when the 2019 summer transfer window opens.
Reportedly the club that is not interested in extending Rakitic’s contract after ending in 2021, is the main reason why he will leave soon. After that, the presence of Frenkie de Jong increasingly opened the door for Rakitic to leave.
According to a report from Football Espana, the former Schalke 04 player was rumored to be getting closer to being able to leave for Inter after the Milan-based club had set aside 50 million euros. As is known, Barca is reportedly going to sell ten of its players in the 2019 summer transfer market, and the name Rakitic is predicted to be part of the list.
