Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic has said his "plan is to continue at Barcelona" amid speculation he could be sold by the Spanish champions in the summer transfer window.
The Croatia international is with the squad in Japan for pre-season friendlies against Chelsea and Vissel Kobe and told reporters he wants to remain at the Camp Nou:
"My plan is to continue with Barcelona. It's a situation that I'm used to since I signed here, as last year the same thing happened to me. I talked to the club and the coach, but my intention is very clear.
