Ivan Rakitić turned 29 today and signed a new contract with FC Barcelona. 

After much speculation about his alleged dissatisfaction and potential dismissal from Barcelona, Croatian international and Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitić has revealed the truth in a recent interview. 

It seems that after 13 years and more than 500 games playing for Shakhtar, the captain has asked to leave the club.

Real Madrid's Luka Modrić was chosen as the best central midfielder in the selection of ESPN Sport’s 10 best.

The editors, journalists, and correspondents from the 38 Goal editions around the world have voted and ranked the best footballers for 2016. Players are decided upon factors such as successes with their club and their national team, performances in big games, consistency over the past year, and overall success in their career.

Croatian National Team footballer and Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitić said he would one day like to play on a team led by coach Pep Guardiola. Afterall, Guardiola is the reason Rakitić chose to wear the number 4 jersey at the Catalan club, reports Slobodna Dalmacija.
