"Milan's "Inter" tried to sign Luka Modrić last summer, but the attempts were unsuccessful. This summer, the fashion capital team returned to the hunt, but this time the target will be another Croat - Ivan Rakitić.
"Gazzetta dello Sport" reports that Milan's "Inter" is in the negotiation process. According to them, "Inter" has already made a 35 million euros offer for the midfielder, but it was rejected.
The Catalans are willing to bid farewell to I. Rakitić, but they want to receive a slightly higher amount for him. "Barca" hopes to earn 45 million euros from the sale of the Croat, but clubs may be able to agree on 40 million.
It is said that the clubs have already reached a verbal agreement and only a financial issue remains in the negotiations.
Ivan Rakitić has been playing for "Barcelona" since 2014. During that time, the Croat has played 249 matches and scored 34 goals.
"Barcelona" wants to part ways with Ivan Rakitić because Frenkie de Jong will join the team in the summer, and they also have plans for another young midfielder - Adrien Rabiot.
