At the beginning of the season, Ivan Rakitić complained about his role in the club "Barcelona" and is returning to his old habits once again.
Recently, Ernesto Valverde has brought the experienced Croat back to the starting position, which immediately changed the player's plans for this season.
Lately, there have been talks that I. Rakitić might be sold in the winter transfer window. Italian clubs have shown interest in him.
"Marca" reports that the Croat will no longer make such a move - he will stay in "Barca" at least until the end of the season due to the increased minutes on the field.
His hopes were ignited by Arthur's injury. There are rumors in the media that the Brazilian is suffering not from physical problems, but is infected with gonorrhea.
I. Rakitić has been playing from the first minutes in the last four matches.
