Darijo Srna urges "Shakhtar" to release him to "Barcelona"

"For the symbol of Donetsk's Shakhtar Darijo Srna - not an easy day.

At the end of his career, the 34-year-old Croat received an incredible offer - to wear the Barcelona team's kit and the player hopes to make it happen.

The Catalans are actively looking for ways to strengthen their depleted defense after the departure of Dani Alves, and they are inviting the veteran to join in January.

D.Srna played for 13 years at the Ukrainian club and won numerous local trophies as well as the Europa League tournament.

Shakhtar coach Paulo Fonseca will still try to persuade the defender: "I know about Barcelona's offer, but I hope Srna will stay."
