Ivan Rakitic is Getting Nearer to Join Inter Milan

DBasia.news –  The arrival of Frenkie de Jong from Ajax Amsterdam is reportedly disturbing the position of Barcelona’s 30-year-old midfielder, Ivan Rakitic. The player is rumored to leave next summer.

Claimed by Italian media, La Gazzetta dello Sport, Rakitic has a great chance to go from Barcelona to Inter Milan because he is believed to be upset with De Jong’s presence, plus rumors of the arrival of Adrien Rabiot from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

The arrival of De Jong and the potential presence of Rabiot threatened the Croatian player’s regular chance to play. Inter is ready to take advantage of the situation by offering 90 million euros, 30 million cheaper than the Rakitic purchase clause (120 million euros).

Inter also reportedly did not mind paying Rakitic’s salary of five million euros per season, equivalent to what Barcelona currently pays. Rakitic was made an option by the Nerazzurri who had difficulty bringing Luka Modric from Real Madrid.

Rakitic’s contract expires in 2021 in Barcelona. Nevertheless, the chance to leave the Camp Nou was quite open because former Schalke players and Sevilla had won all prestigious trophies with the Blaugrana such as: La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League.
