Ivan Rakitic is one of the two midfielders of the current squad of FC Barcelona who has a contract until 2021 just like Arthur Vidal, likely to enter the market as a Croatian in a market operation this summer. In the case of the first, he already commented a month ago in an interview with Mundo Deportivo that he felt good in the Camp Nou but he did not close the door to a possible march at the end of the season allowing himself to be loved by the Seville although the option to return to Sanchez
Pizjuán, which he abandoned in 2014 to land on BarcelonaIt seems very remote due to the financial limitations of the Andalusian club. Of course, if he leaves, he will be deciding his destiny. “I will not be a bag of potatoes,” he warned.
At the age of 32 on March 10, today, one option with the best plans to crystallize is that of Tottenham above others like that of Juventus, Atlético de Madrid and the Inter of
Milan, where Antonio
Conte, your technician, prefers to meet again Vidal
, whom he already coached at Juventus. At Barca they don’t hide that Rakitic It is one of the ways to get some money in a market in recession since next year it would go free. The same occurs with the Chilean media, which will turn 33 on May 22. And is the Premier
League the Championship with more possibilities of satisfying the needs of the Croatian both at a sporting and economic level. Rakitic He assured this newspaper that he feels capable of staying in the elite: “I see myself to compete at the highest level for the next three or four years.”
Ndombele likes at Barça

The Tottenham, current runner-up of Europe, has been interested in taking over the services of the Balkan in a wide area where Tanguy Ndombele, that he really likes Barca, he doesn’t get along very well with José
Mourinho. His representative and most trusted man, Arturo Canales, resides in London for a while, and has a lot of connection with English football. It also has ‘feeling’ with Raül
Sanllehí, football director of the Arsenal, but the economic possibilities of the ‘gunner’ club, which has not participated in the last two editions of the Champions League with the consequent financial damage, are less. In addition to being able to play for a team that wants to give a boost a year after the opening of its new stadium, Rakitic He would have a place in the cosmopolitan English capital for his family to be at ease and with Canales nearby for any need.
Chelsea had been quite interested in Croatian over a year ago when Maurizio
Sarri he was still their coach. The coach is at Juventus today but in Turin dream with Arthur, nine years younger than Rakitic. His age and a high salary with less travel make the ‘vecchia Signora’ not think about him now.
In recent months, the option of Atlético de Madrid for Rakitic. However, although the transfer would not be very high, being only a year away from being released, the mattress club does not usually offer long contracts to veteran footballers. The march especially of Diego
Godin at 33 years old Inter, and of Filipe Luis and Juanfran with 33 and 34 to Brazilian soccer they are an example. And the Seville neither can he pay a high transfer or the chip he would like Rakitic, who would like to retire there although for the moment he longs to feel like a footballer again “taking the risk of contagion” from the coronavirus when activity resumes.
