Ronald Koeman has not taken in putting hands to the work to determine with which players explains and which footballers have to look for team. Ivan Rakitic is -beside Luis Suárez, Arturo Vidal and Samuel Umtiti- one of the 'heavy weights' that this Monday would have received a call of telephone of the Dutch trainer in which it would have communicated them that they do not go in in his plans.
It is thus that the FC Barcelona already would have begun to move index card for 'plant' to the Croatian midfield player, that arrived to the Camp Nou in summer of 2014 pertinent of the Seville in return of 18 million euros. In fact, the own team hispalense is the most likely destination of Ivan Rakitic of face to the next season, since it is the only option that contemplates the player to change of airs.
Like this the things, FC Barcelona and Seville are condemned to understand by Ivan Rakitic and, according to the informations published by the newspaper 'Sport' this same Tuesday, both clubs already would have initiated the negotiations for his traspaso. Nevertheless, it is an economically complex and delicate operation especially for the Andalusian team, that could cover the return of the Croatian in some very concrete conditions.
It is necessary to take into account that the wage of Ivan Rakitic is of some eight million annual euros, a figure that would be too elevated for a club like the Seville. It is thus that the return of the midfield player to Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán could give only in case that the FC Barcelona accepted that the operation went to cost zero, without any payment by part of the entity hispalense.
The FC Barcelona, that needs to lighten mass salarial 'planting' to the descartes but that knows that Ivan Rakitic only would accept to leave if it is to go back to the Seville, would be had to accept traspasar free to the Croatian, although yes it would want to obtain another type of compensation. The media quoted previously ensures that the culés would accept the traspaso to cost zero if the Seville offers an oprión of preferential purchase by any of his players.
Diego Carlos and Jules Koundé, the favourites
Diego Carlos, central Brazilian that to his 27 years has showed a big level in his first year in LaLiga Santander, is one of the players that more like to the FC Barcelona, that also would be in obtaining an option of preferential purchase by Jules Koundé, that to his 21 years achieved 'dry' to Lautaro Martínez in the final of the Europe League. We remember that the preferential option of purchase would activate in case that the Seville agreed the sale of one of these players with another team, cancelling the agreement in case that the FC Barcelona wished to exert it to carry to the footballer in question.
