Barcelona futbol Club has made an official announcement about the agreement reached between FC Barcelona and Sevilla FC for the signing of central midfielder Ivan Rakitic. Ivan Rakitic, who will officially pen his deal with Barca after he returns from World Cup, will sign a 5 year long deal. As expected and widely speculated, the agreement also sees Barcelona B striker Dennis Saurez joining Sevilla FC for a two year loan. As per the agreement, FC Barcelona will be paying 18 Million Euros for the play maker and another 3 Million in pipeline as incentive. Considering that we managed to sell Cesc Fabregas for 33 Million and sign Rakitic for half the amount, this is an excellent deal. At 18 Million he would be one of the cheapest player available this season.
Rakitic will be a brilliant addition to Barca's midfield. He simply was the best midfielder in Spain last season. His performance against Real Madrid, that awesome chip over Pepe was some skill! It has to be seen how he cope with the pressure at Barca. remember when Cesc came he also was one of the best in his position. Rakitic natural position would be one usually used by Barca and that's definitely a huge advantage compared to Cesc. His salary is rumoured to be 8 Million per year.
