Rakitic rubbishes reports of Inter transfer

Ivan Rakitic has denied speculation that he is in talks over a move from Barcelona to Inter, claiming the rumours have been invented by the media.

Recent reports in Italy have suggested that the 31-year-old’s brother and manager – Dejan Rakitic – had confirmed that negotiations were under way over a move to San Siro.

The same rumours also claimed that Inter were close to agreeing a €50million fee, but Croatia international Rakitic took to his official Instagram account to affirm that his immediate future is at Camp Nou.

“If you want to stop inventing things, I would appreciate it,” Rakitic wrote across a screenshot of a report claiming a transfer was close to completion.

“I only concentrate on Barcelona and continuing here for many years and to get the double.

“Besides, my manager is called Arturo Canales.”
