Buy-out clause or nothing, Barcelona will not negotiate over Rakitic with PSG (MARCA)

  /  autty

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.
