Ivan Rakitic wishes to fulfill the final year of his contract with Barcelona.

The club is desperate to sell him to bring in a significant financial return, but he hasn't been keen on leaving the Camp Nou to this point.

Rakitic wants to be the master of his own destiny, and decide his own fate as a free agent, says Marca.

Barcelona will only deal with clubs who offer a significant financial package for the former Schalke midfielder, yet he wants to be able to choose to sign for whomever he wishes in the summer of 2021.

A potential swap with Juventus involving the Croatian and Federico Bernardeschi had been discussed, but Rakitic isn't especially enthused about joining the Bianconeri.
