Ousmane Dembele Among Stars Available for Sale as Ivan Rakitic Plans to Fight for Barcelona Future

Ivan Rakitic wants to stay put at Barcelona, despite recent rumours linking him with a move away from Camp Nou this summer, while Ousmane Dembele may leave if the club receive a good offer.

Rakitic joined Barcelona in 2014 and has gone on to become a central figure at the club during his five-year stay, winning the treble in 2015 and making 268 appearances in all competitions to date.

However - like a number of his teammates - the Croatian ended the 2018/19 campaign poorly, prompting a social media backlash and rumours of a summer exit.

According to Sport, Barcelona have recognised Rakitic as one of the players who could be sold to make room for a wave of new transfers, with the likes of Inter and Manchester United previously linked.
