Inter and Barcelona directors meet to discuss Ivan Rakitić | OneFootball

Ivan Rakitić will reportedly leave Barcelona at the end of the season with the midfielder ready to make a move to Inter.

The Croatia international has been one of the most-used players by Ernesto Valverde over the past couple of seasons and had rejected a chance to leave Camp Nou last summer when Paris Saint-Germain came calling.

Rakitić opted to stay with the Blaugrana and wanted to sign a new, long-term deal in the Catalan capital.

But the club have decided not to offer the 31-year-old the kind of contract he wants moved to sign Frenkie De Jong in January as his replacement.

As such, Barça have since been on the hunt for a buyer, and according to Gazzetta dello Sport,s at down with Inter last week to start negotiations.

It’s claimed that a deal worth €40m will likely be agreed in the coming weeks with the midfielder giving the green light to the move.
