Ivan Rakitic blasts Barcelona exit rumours

Ivan Rakitic has insisted that he will be at Barcelona "for many years to come" amid suggestions that Inter Milan have agreed a summer deal for the Croatia international.

Rakitic has been with Barca since 2014, making more than 260 appearances for the club in all competitions.

The 31-year-old been used on 51 occasions by head coach Ernesto Valverde this season, but there has been a lot of speculation surrounding his future.

Inter had reportedly already agreed a deal with the midfielder, but Rakitic has taken to social media to blast suggestions of a potential Camp Nou exit.

"If you could stop inventing things (directed to the media), I would really appreciate it. I am concentrating on winning the double with Barcelona and being here for many years to come," Rakitic wrote on his official Instagram account.

The 2018 World Cup finalist, who was strongly linked with Paris Saint-Germain last summer, will see his Barca contract expire in June 2021.
