La Liga giants Barcelona are set to go head to head with the Premier League big boys for Sevilla sensation Ivan Rakitic.
The Croatian has been in inspired form this season, recently bagging the La Liga player of the month award for January. The midfielder has already scored 10 goals in 20 games for Sevilla in the domestic league so far.
The 25-year old, however, has remained calm over the intense speculation and is said to be happy at his current club. Sevilla are already in talks with playmaker for a contract extension, and are hoping to increase his buy-out clause from £20m to £33 million.

Manchester United and Liverpool were linked with the player in January, but no official move was made.
A move to Barcelona could be too hard to resist for the attacking midfielder, who could be lured by the prospect of playing in elite competitions and winning silverware.
