United communicates with Barcelona to find out the position of Rakitic
Today, Thursday, American press reports revealed that Manchester United inquired from Barcelona about the possibility of including Croatian Ivan Rakitic in January.
According to the US network "ESPN", Barcelona is looking to collect as much money as possible, to sign a replacement for Luis Suarez, either in January or at the end of the season.
Brazilian Philippe Coutinho is considered the first to be on the sale list, along with Rakitic, whose level has declined this season and has become a substitute in the plans of Kiki Sittin, and by Ernesto Valverde.
Manchester United wants to support its midfield in light of the injury of the pair Paul Pogba and Scott Maktuminae, but his desire conflicts with Rakitic's reluctance to leave his family from Spain.
Rakitic's 31-year contract with Barcelona expires at the end of next season, and Barcelona is seeking 20 million euros in sales.
