Ivan Rakitic’s Agent Breaks Silence On The Midfielder’s Future At Barcelona

Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic is set to stay at the Camp Nou beyond this season, according to the Croatian’s agent.

The 31-year-old was linked with Chelsea in January while Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain were in pursuit of his signature.

It had led to suggestions that Barca were prepared to cash in on Rakitic, who has been a key cog in the club’s engine room for the past five campaigns.

Now, Ivan Rakitic’s representative, Arturo Canales, has gone on the record to confirm his client will remain at Barca and likely see out his contract, which runs until June 2021.

He told Italian media: “It is an impossible scenario to see Ivan leaving Spain in the summer.”

Since the signing of Frenkie De Jong was confirmed, it’s only increased suggestions that Rakitic will have to leave the club. He won’t be short of offers should this happen as both PSG and Chelsea would love to add the Croatian to their squads.
