Barcelona 'open' to selling Ivan Rakitić in January

Barcelona are reportedly open to letting Ivan Rakitić leave in January after the midfielder went public with his frustrations at a lack of game time.

Rakitić has barely featured for the Blaugrana this term following the arrival of Frenkie de Jong and conceded earlier this week that he “wasn’t in Barcelona to stroll along the beach”.

Barcelona opted against selling the midfielder over the summer, but AS say that they will likely allow Rakitić to go during the winter window, potentially for as little as €25m.
