Ivan Rakitic close to Saudi Arabia

He is a club legend who is leaving Sevilla FC. Ivan Rakitic (35 years old) is close to leaving the Andalusian club to join Saudi Arabia, and more precisely Al-Shabab reports Relevo this Sunday. He could even take the plane tomorrow, or Tuesday, to finalize the transaction.

The Croatian midfielder, with 323 matches under his belt with the Sevillian team, was no longer part of the plans of new coach Quique Sánchez Flores, who arrived in December. He is not part of the squad that will face Osasuna in La Liga.
