The last informations ensure that there is some distance between Ivan Rakitic and some of the mates of the Croatian in the changing room
Already it does months that the situation of Ivan Rakitic in the FC Barcelona does not seem to have solution. The Croatian midfield player, that already was transferible the past summer, has not had too many opportunities to play in the present campaign, neither in the initial stage with Ernesto Valverde to the control neither with the arrival of Quique Setién to the bench culé. Thus, it aims to traspaso in summer.
Besides, according to the informations published by the newspaper Sport this same Wednesday, Rakitic no only has a problem with the club -with which is annoying so much by the rumours about his possible entrance in a barter as by the offer of renewal promised that it never arrived- but besides it has distanciado of the changing room, having a cold relation with a lot of mates.
Always according to the quoted media, the fact that the relation of Rakitic with his mates have worsened traces back a year backwards and, more specifically, in the semifinals of the Champions League. It is necessary to remember that, in spite of that the culés defeated by 3-0 to the Liverpool in the Camp Nou, finish losing 4-0 in Anfield being defeated by the 'reds'.
The blow that received the team was tremendo, as already it saw in another final of League of Champions with a rival in the final, in theory, affordable like the Tottenham Hotspur. The changing room went in in the most intense desolation by the sucedido and, this same week, Rakitic travelled to the fair of Seville and was photographed with a smile of ear to ear with José María of the Nest, son of the ex president of the club hispalense.
The image was tremendously criticised by the barcelonismo, coming in addition to a Rakitic that had done a tremendously bad party in Anfield. According to Sport, a lot of mates of the staff "understood that no only the image of the player remained touched to eyes of the fans, but also the one of all the changing room". Since, it opened a big brecha.
An apology that of little served
The previously quoted media collects the delcaraciones of the agent of one of the players of the staff in which it ensured that "that did not like to anybody. In that moment what less suited us to all was an image of one of us strolling us by Seville". Shortly after, until the own Rakitic apologised: "I Ask pardon without any problem. But I am father and husband, for me the family is the most important. I was to Seville to be with her". But the evil already was done.
