Father: 'Ivan Rakitic has offers from Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid'

The father of Sevilla midfielder Ivan Rakitic has claimed that the Croatian international has offers from Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

The 26-year-old is widely regarded as one of the best playmakers in European football, with his performances over the last couple of seasons drawing a host of interest.

Each of the top three clubs in Spain have been strongly linked with a move, and now Luka Rakitic has said that his son has offers from all three.

"Right now his brother Dejan, who looks after his career, has offers from Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético Madrid. Whatever happens though, nothing will be decided until after the World Cup. After that, the conversations will begin," Inside Spanish Football quotes Luka Rakitic as saying.

Rakitic contributed 12 goals and 10 assists in the league for Sevilla last season.
