Sevilla sporting director Monchi has opened the door for a transfer of Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic, but he admitted such a move would be difficult and likely won't be completed in the near future.
Monchi addressed recent speculation regarding the Croat in an interview with Canal Sur Radio (h/t Football Espana's Collin Millar):
"I don't know and maybe in many years, but today it is very difficult. He has a contract with Barcelona and is in Barcelona… However, he has not lost his love for our club, but today it is somewhat implantable.
"There are seven games left before the market opens, and with the coach we will value the options and make decisions.
