Barcelona refer PSG to Rakitic buyout clause

Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic will only leave this month for his buyout clause.

Marca says PSG have their sights on Rakitic but Barcelona are unwilling to negotiate his departure with his buy-out clause standing at €125m.

Barca coach Ernesto Valverde considers Rakitic as one of his most vital players and does not want to hear about his possible exit.

However, if PSG agree on paying the player's release clause, there is nothing that will stop the French club from acquiring Rakitic's services.

Though the final decision will be left to the Croat.
