Croatian midfielder Ivan Rakitic has rejoined Sevilla from Barcelona, as confirmed by the two La Liga clubs.
In Barcelona, he won four league titles, four Reys Cups, a Champions League and a Club World Cup as part of his formidable team that won the 2014-15 treble.
However, he has slipped down the pecking order at Camp Nou and the Croatian international has returned to Seville, where he supposedly wanted to live.
The Spanish media reported that Rakitic, who had a year left on his contract, was not part of the plans of the new Barça manager, Ronald Koeman, for the next season.
Sevilla have confirmed that Rakitic has signed a four-year contract. In the Barcelona statement, they confirmed that it is an initial commission of 1.5 million euros plus 9 million euros in variables.
Barcelona are a team in crisis after their humiliating 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League last season, when captain Lionel Messi told the club he wants to leave immediately.
Spanish media reported that Koeman has also told Uruguayan forward Luis Suárez, Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal and French defender Samuel Umtiti that they are no longer wanted.
