Ivan Rakitic has valid agreement with the FC Barcelona until June of 2021, but further of this date desconoce if it will continue forming part of the staff of the first team. In the actuality is a fixed in the alignments titled of Ernesto Valverde, and since it landed in summer of 2014 did not take in turning into a basic piece for the FC Barcelona in the centre of the field.

The Croat contributes balance, defensive work in the recovery of balloon, exit and distribution of the balloon and also goals arriving from second line, so much with his incorporations to the interior of the area as by means of his far shots, that already have given him a lot of joys to the Barça. Rakitic, besides, is happy in the changing room, where feels a heavy weight.

His family also is to taste in Barcelona, and in spite of the rumorología that exists with regard to a possible traspaso, the footballer already has soltado more than a wink to the FC Barcelona so that it work in his future renewal, after having closed already the one of Jordi Alba. From the managerial board, in any case, seem to have for the time being other priorities.

The president Josep Maria Bartomeu did not give too many details when they asked him in this regard of the possible renewal of Rakitic, in the program of Josep Cuní in 'BE Catalonia'. The maximum Barcelona mandator referred to the agreement that already has signed the Croat with the club, and that caducará in 2021 if the two parts involved do not put him remedy.

"Has agreement until June of 2021, with an option to a season more", remembered Bartomeu, with other priorities on of the table like the planning of the first team of face to the next season, that could comport the arrival of some big footballer like Matthijs of Ligt, to reinforce the axis of the defence, and a leading youngster of guarantees that can substitute with the step of the time to Luis Suárez.

"Up to now we have been very centred in the renewal of Jordi Alba, that is the best left side of the world and with Ivan already will speak, now are centred in finish the season and prepare the next", signalled Bartomeu in relation to the renewal of Rakitic. To the hour to take the decision on if renew him or no, this yes, Bartomeu left clear that will prevail the sportive appearance.

It can leave traspasado Rakitic of the Barça?

"We always have established the sportive criterion, before that the economic, save in the 2010 when we had to sell to Chigrinskiy". It is not safe, therefore, that Rakitic go to continue in the FC Barcelona further of June of 2021. This, as long as it do not arrive a big offers this next summer and the Croatian player, that has a clause of around 100 million euros, can do the cases.

For the moment it is happy in the Barça, but the year happened already had the temptation to go to some another competitive club like Paris Saint-Germain, where would have paid him an upper wage to the that earns at present in the Barcelona club. Of what does not doubt in any moment is of the performance of Rakitic, that this season 2018-19 is going back to be key in the successes of the team.
