Ivan Rakitic

All round Box to box Players like Paulinho or Khedira vidal or nainggolan are what Jose is looking for not physically weaker players like Rakitic or Kroos.

Fixed.

Very close to signing for Atletico Madrid apparently

Either they are using the Costa money to sign him to play up-front(which is unlikely) or Koke/Turan is leaving. I can see Koke to MU for 50m have some truth if this is the case.

Could've been Vitesse captain by now!

Thread can close now, sign for Barcelona for 19m euros

Not official I believe, so it should stay open for now.

di marzio and few others saying 15m euros (12m pounds). even at 20m euros, i'd say it's a bargain in 2014

This is insane!!!! Don't think it CAN be true!!! I mean just a couple of days ago he was off to RM. He had a BO of 30mil £. And today this. It's just insane. Sevilla will have to have the worst bunch of negotiators ever to let rakitoc go for anything less than 25mil £.

[Special Juan 28,106]

Unbelievable price for a super player.

His contract ends next summer.

His contract expires in 12 months....Sevilla had to sell him for 20 million

Similar to how Van Persie was sold to United...

i had heard that they wanted rakitic to sign a contract extension LOWERING his BO to 25mil or something, just so that they would get that amount. but still, with a WC where a midfield trio of rakitic, kovacic and modric can probably produce some upsets plus interest already shown by RM, 12mil or 16mil is a poor deal for sevilla.

lol this excellent business by Barcelona. Sold their 27 year old player for 30m+ and now are spending around 60 percent of that money on a young brilliant player.
