Barca would be open to Rakitic exit in January

The Croatian has recently seen how he has been losing importance in Valverde's plans. Rakitic is ready to fight, but only if he has continuity at FC Barcelona.

"I want to play at Barcelona, not walk and enjoy the sea," he said a couple of days ago, during his time with the Croatian national team.

'AS' have also stated that Barca want to give it two months to see how this matter evolves. If Rakitic and the club don't come to the right agreement, the midfielder could leave the Camp Nou in January.

Rakitic has already had offers to leave in the summer. The player himself acknowledged this and said that the board was also aware of the interest that aroused in several European clubs.

Then, Barcelona decided to stick with Rakitic, they weren't going to sell him at any old price. But this could all change in January.

'AS' states that FC Barcelona would be willing to negotiate his exit in the winter market. This will all depend on how the relationship between the player and the club advances in the coming months.

Rakitic has already said it loud and clear: he wants to stay, he is happy in Barcelona, but he is not there to enjoy the sun and the beach. He wants to play. On the other hand, he has no qualms about packing his bags if he has to.

On their part, Barcelona promise to listen to Rakitic and let him leave if they cannot reach an understanding. Inter, meanwhile, remain attentive to the player's situation.
