Ivan Rakitic is finish the season like a shot. The Croat began the very toneless campaign and was very criticised by the Barcelona fans, that even asked his suplencia. Have played so much in the course 2017-2018, including the World-wide of Russia with Croatia, prejudiced to his performance in the first months of competition.
But little by little the midfield player has gone recovering and does months that has arrived to his best level. It is being one of the best footballers of the Barça these last months and already has been key in victories very important like the one of Santiago Bernabéu or the one of the Espanyol. By all this, Ernesto Valverde has left very clear that it wants to to the '4' in the team the next campaign.
But perhaps Josep Maria Bartomeu does not have it so clear, since in an interview that conceded to ESPN did not clear the future of the Balkan in the Barcelona. "We have to maintain a balance correct in terms of wages. We will see at the end of the season the what will happen with him", explained the president of the Barça to speak of the subject.
Bartomeu, this yes, signalled that the Croat is one of the most used players by Valverde. Something that could be key for his continuity in the team. "Rakitic Is one of the most important players of the Barcelona. The trainer has a lot of confidence in him. His arrival was a blow of cool air for our centre of the field", affirmed.
The maximum mandator of the group culé also said that it wants to that all the players of the Barcelona are happy, in reference to the wish of Rakitic of an increase. "We want to that our players are happy and satisfied", admitted the president.
Rakitic Wants to remain in the Barcelona
The player has repeated by active and by passive that his wish is to continue in the Barcelona. It is very happy in the city, has adapted very well and in the team is very wanted. Besides, it has the confidence of the technician and is one of his more indispensable footballers. But the mediocampista wants the increase of wage that promised him and this could be a problem. It will be necessary to see how finish solving the subject.
