Rakitic Could be player of the Athletic until in two occasions

Ivan Rakitic, that arrived against the UD The Palms to the 200 parties like player of the FC Barcelona, could be until in two occasions footballer of the Athletic, as it has informed in the last hours the newspaper 'ACE' with reason of the duel between the two first qualifiers of LaLiga 2017-18.

The first time that Rakitic could fichar by the Athletic of Madrid would have been to finals of the 2010, when it looked for an exit of the Schalke 04. The Athletic of Madrid wanted to that Rakitic landed with the letter of freedom to final of season, but the Seville advanced in the conflict and was able to close the signing in January of 2011 in return of 1,5 million euros, an authentic bargain.

Rakitic Began to carburar from the beginning and did not take too much in doing with the leadership in the group hispalense, that abandoned in summer of 2014 to put course to the FC Barcelona. This same summer, before resolving his arrival to the Camp Nou, the Athletic also interested apparently in his signing, although it arrived too late.

Zubizarreta Convinced to Rakitic

Zubizarreta, then sportive director of the FC Barcelona, convinced to Rakitic and the group culé finish doing with the Croat by little more than 20 million euros. An authentic 'fichajazo', as it has showed the footballer with the step of the time.

The one of Möhlin has known to win the confidence of his mates and trainers, and good proof of this is that it has contested 89,2% of the meetings from his arrival, an impressive figure. Besides, the international Croat has been able to fulfil all the challenges that has faced in the square culé, occupying almost all the positions of the medullary and surrendering equally well in each one of them.

Rakitic, indispensable in the Barça

It became a second forward in the Sánchez Pizjuán, but his tactical rigour and his delivery have turned him into a perfect closing in the Camp Nou, able to combine the defence with a remarkable capacity assistant and an arrival that always has ensured goals. The Croat goes out in the photo of some of the best moments of the Barça in the last years, and has done it by own merits. Without going more far, marked a goal in the only final of the Champions League that has contested, collaborating directly in one of the a lot of titles that has in his have.

Has three Glasses of Rey, two Leagues, a Champions, a Supercopa Europe, a Supercopa of Spain and some World-wide Clubs in the FC Barcelona. And in spite of the rumours on a possible course, does not seem that Ernesto Valverde, neither he same, pose separate his ways. Rakitic, essential.
