I. Rakitic: "I won't stay in Barcelona just to be able to walk on the beach"

Ivan Rakitic will look for a new career station if the situation at "Barcelona" club does not change. As the footballer revealed, joining the Croatian national team camp, the living comforts in Barcelona have no influence on his further career. Having played almost without changes until this season, I. Rakitic is now forced to settle for the role of a substitute player - he was outperformed by both Arthur and Frenkie de Jong. "I want to play," - immediately said the Croat. - "I will not stay in Barcelona just because this city is wonderful or has a beach where you can walk." "I don't know how it will all end. I want to play at the 'Barcelona' club and I will do everything to change the situation in the upcoming matches. I still have a contract valid for several years and I don't think I can find a better place than here, competing in the best club in the world," - added I. Rakitic. The 31-year-old defender participated in six matches this season, but only appeared in the starting lineup in one of them.
