Ivan Rakitic, the 33-year-old Croatian midfielder who currently represents Sevilla, revealed that he received a personal invitation from Cristiano Ronaldo to go to Juventus.
“In the summer of 2019, Cristiano called me personally to go to the Juventus. He told me that the club loved me, but the operation was not done because Barcelona asked for 50 million. It was very expensive, ”he said, in a report from the interview tier.
The midfielder made no secret that he would have liked to have played with the Portuguese international. “It is one of the greatest in history. It’s good to see what you’re doing… ..For me, it’s one of the best. »
Rakitic, it is recalled, ended up leaving Barcelona in the summer of 2020, in exchange for just over 1.5 million euros.
