Ivan Rakitic looks set to depart Barcelona for Sevilla in the upcoming Summer transfer window according to a report from Spanish news outlet Sport.

The Croatian national team midfielder is set to go into the final year of his contract with the Blaugrana club and for this reason they plan to move him on in the coming months as they have no intention of signing him to a contract extension.

Sevilla have made an enquiry for the 32-year-old who is said to be excited by the prospect of a return to the Andalusian club who he made 149 appearances for between January 2011 and June 2014.

Recent reports both in Spanish and Italian media have linked Rakitic with a possible move to Inter as part of a deal that would see Lautaro Martinez head to Barcelona but this report would seem to suggest that the former Schalke player will be getting nowhere close to Inter.
