Newspaper Sevilla Live report: "FC Barcelona would be interested in Ivan Rakitic of Sevilla ahead of next season. The captain is in the sweetest moment of his career and at 25-years-old is ready to make the leap to a European giant. "Sources close to the club say Rakitic would have already been contacted for future incorporation after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil played with Croatia over."
Barcelona lost top spot in the La Liga table last weekend courtesy of a 3-2 defeat to Valencia, which has re-ignited debate over their midfield growing stagnant. At the centre of debate is Xavi, who last month had to deny he was joining a MLS side, while David Silva of Manchester City has been touted as a replacement.
Rakitic is certainly good enough to play for Barcelona on this month's evidence, but Sevilla are also said to be trying to get him to re-negotiate an extended contract. Being cynical, this could all be an effort on Rakitic's part and his agent to prompt Sevilla into panicking into giving him a new contract with better terms than he was originally likely to be offered.Barcelona lost top spot in the La Liga table last weekend courtesy of a 3-2 defeat to Valencia, which has re-ignited debate over their midfield growing stagnant.

Either way, Manchester United at this point look to be at the most, third best in the chase to secure his signature.
