Ivan Rakitic has been a key player for Barcelona in recent seasons, but it appears his time at the club could be about to come to an end.According to Barcelona-based publication Sport, which has the midfielder on the front cover, Sarri’s side are planning a summer swoop for the 30-year-old and consider him the ideal replacement for the recently departed Cesc Fabregas, who left to join Monaco.However, despite the65million acquisition Frenkie de Jong from Ajax, Rakitic is keen to remain with Barcelona.“If I am here [at Barcelona], it’s to play,” he said.“If anything has to change, we will speak. I have a lot of confidence. I know what I can give. I know who I am.“I want to be here and, if I can renew, to be here for even more years. I am really happy here, everyone knows it, above all the president. I have nothing else to say.“I am 30 and I am in the best moment of my career. I want to enjoy football and enjoy Barca.”Raktic has won three La Liga titles and one Champions League since his move to the Nou Camp in 2014.
