Rakitic, in the photo Ansa, returns to be a goal of Inter transfer market
BARCELONA – Ivan Rakitic could leave Barcelona to move to Inter. The news was given by the Spanish daily "Sport" after the statements made in a press conference by Barcelona coach Valverde that questioned the key role of the Croatian midfielder for next season "Ivan Rakitic was important but I don't know if he will still be ".
Ivan Rakitic has always played a lot with Barcelona. It is enough to see his presences since he is in Blaugrana (51 presences in the first year, 57 presences in the second year, 51 presences in the third year, 55 presences in the fourth year and 54 presences last year). A demonstration of the fact that the Croatian midfielder has been a pillar of the last five Barcelona matches. A player of great technical quality but also intact since he almost never missed a match due to a serious injury.
What Antonio Conte would need to give greater weight to a midfield formed mainly by very young players like Sensi and Barella. Experience at international level is needed and from this point of view Rakitic is a guarantee. Ivan Rakitic earns about eight million euros per season and is linked to Barcelona by a contract that expires on June 30, 2021.
The Blaugrana want to sell it to make cash. The starting price would be forty million euros, a figure deemed fair by Inter's Chinese property. The Nerazzurri have refused to complete the Romelu Lukaku purchase for eighty-five million euros because they considered the offer of Manchester United out of the market but would be willing to carry out an investment "to Barella".
The Cagliari midfielder cost 45 million euros (although with the bonuses you could even reach 50 …), Rakitic could be taken for a similar amount. Antonio Conte, who would gladly welcome him, gave his ok to the closure of this transfer market operation.
