Ivan Rakitic: 'I only see myself at Barcelona'

Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic has played down suggestions that he could leave Camp Nou.

Rakitic was strongly linked with a move away from Barcelona last summer off the back of playing a key role in Croatia's progression to the final of the 2018 World Cup.

The midfielder's future has also been the subject of speculation in recent weeks, with a number of Premier League clubs and Inter Milan said to be closely monitoring developments in Catalonia.

Rakitic, however, has said that he 'only sees himself at Barcelona'.

"I have three more years on my contract, I want to stay here. I'm full of pride that big clubs ask for me, if they do. I only see myself at Barcelona, it makes me laugh a little when I have my morning coffee," Rakitic told reporters.

The 30-year-old helped his team record a 4-2 win over Sevilla in La Liga on Saturday afternoon.
