Man Utd open Barcelona talks for Ivan Rakitic

Manchester United have opened talks with Barcelona for Ivan Rakitic.

Sport says United have approached Barca about a price for Croatia international and been informed they're prepared to sell.

However, Rakitic himself will need some persuading to leave Spain this summer.

The 29 year-old midfielder's priority is to stay with Barca - unless United make him an offer he cannot refuse.

Should United be willing to offer crazy money to Rakitic, the veteran would be willing to listen to their proposal.
