Ivan Rakitic would be delighted to return to the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán and isn't hiding it. In words to 'Movistar+', the Barcelona player acknowledged that "it would be special" to play with the number 10 shirt of the late José Antonio Reyes.

Rakitic's future isn't clear at all. His continuity at the Camp Nou is unknown.

If it depended on Rakitic, the Croat wouldn't mind returning to Sevilla. On 'Movistar+', he was asked about the possibility of playing again at the Pizjuán and with a very special number, the number 10 of the late Reyes.

"It would be something very special if it were possible... I would be proud to be able to pay homage to my great friend in this way. It would be nice, of course," admitted Rakitic.

Rakitic sees himself at Sevilla, with that number of Reyes on his back. "It would be a special moment. I would miss him," he continued.

Reyes and Rakitic shared many moments together at Sevilla. The midfielder thinks that the best homage that he could dedicate to him would be wearing the number 10 shirt that Reyes wore so well during his time at Sevilla.
