Catalan newspaper Sport will not let go of Ivan Rakitic to Manchester United.
They’re largely fighting a lone battle on the potential transfer, yet have insisted for months that interest from Old Trafford is genuine.
In their Monday edition they have another article on the club’s interest, and make it clear that a sale is possible.
Manchester United need to ‘rebuild’ their midfield, according to the claims, and likely because of Paul Pogba’s situation.
Rakitic is described as a ‘priority option’ for the Red Devils. It’s claimed an ’emissary’ of the club ‘tried the option’ a few weeks ago, although Barcelona deny having an official offer and are waiting for one.
Despite that, Sport say Barca refused €90m from PSG last summer, which is again hard to believe.
