Barcelona are open to the idea of Ivan Rakitic leaving the club in the January transfer window, according to a report.

Barcelona are reportedly open to the idea of Ivan Rakitic leaving the club in the January transfer window.

The 31-year-old is closing in on 300 appearances for the Spanish champions having been a key player for the club since arriving from Sevilla in the summer of 2014.

The midfielder has only started once in La Liga in the early stages of the 2019-20 campaign, though, and is no longer considered to be an automatic pick under Ernesto Valverde.

Last week, Rakitic hinted that he will look to leave the Catalan giants in the near future unless his playing situation changes.

According to AS, Barca decided against selling the Croatia international to Juventus over the summer, but the La Liga side would be prepared to allow him to leave at the start of 2020 for the right price.

Inter Milan are thought to be in pole position to land the 2018 World Cup finalist at the mid-point of the 2019-20 campaign, although Juve are also said to be considering reigniting their interest.

Rakitic has won four La Liga titles and the Champions League during his time at Camp Nou.
