“Every player has to make decisions about their future. But for me, my first choice will always be Barcelona.”

Rakitic himself admits that he has no information about Messi’s future. But he promised to respect every step his former colleague would take.

“What Messi is planning at this time, I honestly don’t know. You have to ask him directly.”

“I respect every decision he makes and as I said, all players have to make decisions about their future.” he said.

It is reported that Barcelona are still trying to prevent Messi from leaving Camp Nou.

One of them is by setting a price of 700 million Euros as a transfer fee for Messi this summer.
