5 possible replacements for Barcelona's Ivan Rakitic

#2 Ruben Neves - Wolverhampton Wanderers

Neves can be a suitable replacement for Rakitic

One of the best young midfielders in the world, Neves has attracted a lot of attention ever since his arrival at Premier League side Wolverhampton. A consistent and reliable box to box midfielder, Neves is known for his charismatic display of inter-plays he develops with his fellow teammates.

Often switching to a defensive role, he is regarded as one of the future stars of world football. The Portuguese midfielder has scored 1 goal this season for Wolves, and has played an extremely important role in the development of his side.

His inclusion in Ernesto Valverde's side will only be good news, as he could be an extremely comfortable replacement for Ivan Rakitic due to his play-making abilities and the fact that his pace and agility can be an addition to the much flourishing Barcelona side. Neves surely has the potential to be a top class midfielder for La Blaugrana.
