Despite the pending arrival of Frenkie de Jong and the desire to play more youngsters, Barcelona are still doubtful about selling Ivan Rakitic according to a report from Spanish newspaper Sport.
The Croatian’s performance in Saturday’s El Clasico increased the doubts that the Blaugrana leadership have about selling the midfielder.
It would seem like selling a player who will soon turn 31 for around €60-70 million would be an easy decision especially with reported interest in his services but that is not the case.
Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde has shared his desire to see Rakitic stay while the player has too.
French powerhouses Paris St. Germain alongside Inter are allegedly in for the World Cup runner-up who has played his football in Catalonia since 2014.
This season Rakitic has made no less than 39 appearances for the Nou Camp club in which he has scored five goals and tallied seven assists in 3094 minutes on the field.
