Barcelona to offer Ivan Rakitic to Inter Milan in bid for Stefano Sensi?

Barcelona are reportedly considering offering Ivan Rakitic to Inter Milan as they look to sign midfielder Stefano Sensi.

The 24-year-old joined Antonio Conte's side in the summer on a season-long loan from Sassuolo, with the Nerazzurri having the option to buy him in the summer for €25m (£21.6m).

Sensi has caught the eye since making the move to Inter, scoring three goals and creating another four in seven Serie A appearances.

According to reports in Spain, those performances have not gone unnoticed by Barcelona, who are keen to add the Italian schemer to their current raft of midfield options.

The report suggests that Ernesto Valverde's side are considering offering Rakitic, who has been a long-term target for Inter, in exchange for Sensi as they look to reduce their budgetary commitments over the coming year.

The Croatian has been repeatedly linked with moves away from Barcelona after only playing 167 minutes for the Catalan giants this season.
