Barcelona star Ivan Rakitic has decided that he wants to leave the club, according to reports.
The midfielder was completely left out of the squad for their last La
Liga game, against Villarreal, and has decided that is the last straw
regarding his time at the Nou Camp.
Manager Luis Enrique has only given the Croatia midfielder 71 minutes
of action since he started in their 1-1 draw with El Clasico rivals
Real Madrid, none of which have been in the league, and this has forced
Rakitic to consider his future – according to Croatian outlet Jutarnji.Manchester United have been linked with the former Sevilla ace in the past, but it is local rivals Manchester City who appear to be in pole position for him this month.
The Citizens have supposedly made a £43.5 million bid for the 28-year-old, and are looking to bring him to the Etihad before the current transfer window ends.
Rakitic has made 12 appearances in La Liga this season, scoring two goals and grabbing one assist, and could be the perfect addition to City’s faltering midfield.
