Ivan Rakitić

[CatalinR10]

Can't believe we bought him instead of Kroos

he was really really good in the trebble year

didn't kross want to go to rm anyways ?

 

[ronniecro]

i'd keep him without doubt,he may be not starter material but he is good squad player,miles better than gomes,arda and denis,if we sign new midfielder than we could rotate between new signing and rakitić

 

[Zincubus]

I'd offer Rakitic and Rafinha in a package to get Coutinho !

 

[JerseyAddict]

Rakitić suposed to be injured and not called for NT against Iceland.

 

[Messi983]

I'd offer Rakitic and Rafinha in a package to get Coutinho !

Add Douglas, Vermaelen, Tello, Mathieu and Messi as well, when we are already at it.

 

[Icarium]

The inclusion of messi in that list is confusing.

 

[Aryagorn]

The inclusion of messi in that list is confusing.

true

 

[Messi983]

The inclusion of messi in that list is confusing.

I added him intentionally because that's the only way they would accept an offer like that.

 

[defyqa]

Maybe we should offer them Bartomeu too?

 

[wisconsincule]

How much do you guys think he's worth? Now might be the time to cash in especially if Veratti actually comes here...

 

[clemente]

City should give us at least 50m. Would be perfect if we get Veratti.

 

[ronniecro]

so you really want us to sell rakitić and keep gomes?

 

[BBZ8800]

City should give us at least 50m. Would be perfect if we get Veratti.

Imo, there is no way that someone would pay 50M for a 29 year old.
I mean, we paid 40M for Arda in that age and that was one of the most comical transfers ever.

20-30M for Rakitic would be realistic (imo), even 40M would be out of this world.
The same with Arda. Unless a Chinese club steps in, no one in Europe will pay more than 15M for old Arda.
Even though, I would be surprised if someone pays even 10M for a current Arda.

People mention too easily transfers like:
50M for Rakitic
50M for Arda
50M for Gomes
20+M for Denis

With those transfers, we could easily buy both Verratti, Dembele/Coutinho and Bellerin.
But in a realistic universe, we'll probably get 25M for Rakitic, 8M for Arda, 25M for Gomes and 6-8M for Denis.
That's more or less enough only to buy Bellerin or Semedo.

You are crazy if you think Rakitic is 20m in todays market, he is a starter in pretty much every team in the world, for that price I would rather have him to just sit on our bench since he doesn't have a high wages, if we get offered anything less than 40m we should just dismiss it instantly.

 

[ebieymjunior]

so you really want us to sell rakitić and keep gomes?

Actually, yes. We have Roberto, to Rakitic isn't really needed. Gomes can still turn out good...
