They follow the contradictions in the press on the future of Rakitic

Ivan Rakitic will do the cases or will remain in the FC Barcelona. But, whatever happens, the only that is clear to day of today is that the international press does not put in accordance with the future of the Croatian midfield player. This Sunday 'The Gazzetta dello Sport' advanced that Rakitic had given already the 'OK' to the Juventus of Turín of face to the next season 2019-20.

The information married well with the current situation: the imminent arrival of Frenkie of Jong to play in his place and have minutes with regularity, the uncertainty that have woken up the recent words of Josep Maria Bartomeu in this regard. The scoop of the half Italian could have some sense, and the most important newspapers did echo of her in the last hours.

Well, this Monday 'COPE' ensure all the contrary: that Ivan Rakitic will be still in the FC Barcelona, in spite of the offers that arrive him of the Series To. The quoted half Spanish affirms that so much Josep Maria Bartomeu like Ernesto Valverde would have he of face to the next campaign, independently that it finish renewing agreement in the Barcelona club.

The arrival of Frenkie of Jong neither would suppose a problem, because the Dutch already knows that his first season in the FC Barcelona will not be to strengthen like titling indisputable, but rather to adapt progressively to the club, to the city and to all what involves to play in the Barça, integrating in the changing room and learning of his mates.

For now there is not agreement in the improvement of agreement that the Croatian midfield player would have demanded to the FC Barcelona, but so much the trainer of the Barcelona, Ernesto Valverde, like the president of the Barça, Josep Maria Bartomeu, already have showed in more than an occasion his will that Rakitic was still in the Barcelona like minimum a season more, given the satisfaction with his performance.

If Of Jong and Rakitic coincide, there is not problem

Bartomeu in any moment descartó that the renewal produced more advance, but for the moment insists in that it is important to keep a balance salarial in the staff. Frenkie Of Jong will compete by the titularity with Rakitic and expects that it finish playing quite a lot of parties, but this first season in which they would coincide in the staff would serve to the Dutch to evolve. More or less what occurred during the two first years with Ter Stegen and Claudio Bravo, although saving the distances.

Like this the things, for the moment the future of Ivan Rakitic is uncertain, and could say that his exit or permanence in the staff of the FC Barcelona is to 50%. It will be missing to see, this yes, what is what say the international means in the weeks to come, and of here to that it finish the season. The situation still can give a lot of turns and unexpected twists.
