Paris Saint-Germain have their radar on Ivan Rakitic but Barcelona are not willing to negotiate his departure with his buy-out clause standing at 125 million euros.
Head coach Ernesto Valverde considers Rakitic as one of his most vital players and does not want to hear about his possible exit.
However, if PSG agree on paying the player's release clause, there is nothing that will stop the French club from acquiring Rakitic's services if the Croat chooses to go.
But the Ligue 1 side have their own problems with Financial Fair Play after their mega million euro signings of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. To sign a player of this amount, the team would have to sell several of their players.

To me this Rakitic is the most underrated player in Barcelona team, I feel more confident when I see him in the middle of the park yet most of us don’t appreciate his hard work Visca Barca

Never we cant give you the best midfielder on planet not for £400 millions not for Rabiot + £. He's ok here and do your financial problems solve first.Next two seasons you forget about him.

why would Rakitic leave BarÇa for a nothing team like PSG. Neymar did it and he cant find the exit door quick enough. Neymar would already be a madrid player if it was up to him.
