Ivan Rakitic happy at Barcelona amidst Manchester United news
According to Sky Germany (h/t Metro), Barcelona star Ivan Rakitic is very happy at the Nou Camp, amidst Manchester United interest.
The 32-year-old has been an integral part of the Catalan club’s success since making the move to the Nou Camp in 2014. With his contract expiring in 2021, he has been linked with a move away this summer. (h/t Metro)
United have long been linked with a move for Rakitic who has made more than 300 appearances for the Catalan giants. (h/t Metro)
Rakitic revealed that speculation regarding his future is not something new. He has put up with the same for six years now and is not surprised by it. (h/t Metro)
“For the moment, I am very happy here and I am thinking about other stuff.”
The Croatian revealed that it is always his intention to fulfill any contract he signs. If there appears to be any difficulty in doing so, he rather sits down and irons out the differences. (h/t Metro)
He also admitted to being happy where he is and is currently thinking of other stuff rather than worry about his future. (h/t Metro)
The 32-year-old is a vastly experienced player who is still capable of competing at the highest level. He has won 12 major honors in his six years in Barcelona and has scored 34 goals and 41 assists. (h/t Transfermarkt)

Raktic has enough in his locker to add to the United midfield. At 32, the only downside is his age. He does not fit the profile of the young, talented players we are looking for.
However, the Croatian has played in some of football’s biggest games alongside some of the best in the game. He would act as both an inspiration and a mentor to the younger players.
