Barcelona superstar Ivan Rakitic has reportedly emerged as summer transfer target for Premier League side Arsenal who are planning to bolster their squad for next season.
This comes less than 48 hours that the North London side won the 2020 English FA Cup final in which Gabonese striker Aubameyang scored the two goals for the Gunners.
According to the report on UK Sun, Barcelona are also planning to offload the Croatia international and they are looking for the club that can meet their asking price.
The 32-year-old has only one more year left on his current contract at Barcelona and the Catalans would have to sell him this summer or lose him for free.
But the report added that Rakitic himself does not fancy moving to the Premier League and would instead love to join Sevilla.
Rakitic who is also wanted by Manchester United spent three years at Sevilla before he joined Barcelona in 2014 where he has won the Champions League and the League title.
Meanwhile, Rakitic and his Barcelona teammates are preparing for their Champions League tie against Napoli with the hopes of progressing to the next round.
They were sent out of the Champions League last season by Barcelona.
