The Croatia international is no longer indispensable at Camp Nou and could now be set to move to the Premier League and link up with Pep in the winter transfer window
Ivan Rakitic is on the verge of joining Manchester City from Barcelona, according to
Jutarnji List.
The midfielder has made 12 appearances in La Liga this season, but the report claims that City are now set to snaffle him away from the Liga giants.
Pep Guardiola is willing to play the Croatia international alongside David Silva and Fernandinho in midfield, with Yaya Toure still likely to leave the club.
