While Sevilla FC is in difficulty this season, Ivan Rakitic will join the Saudi club Al-Shabab.

Another big name in football is set to join Saudi Arabia. A major midfielder in European football in recent years, Ivan Rakitic is on the verge of leaving Spain, according to several media, including Relevo.

The 35-year-old Croatian, world vice-champion in 2018, is stopping at leaving Sevilla FC, where he was a regular starter since the start of the season, with 18 La Liga matches and 6 Champions League matches on the clock.

The former Barcelona player should sign a nice contract with Al-Shabab, the club of Romain Saïss, Yannick Carrasco and Habib Diallo. It was with this club that José Mourinho was linked after his dismissal from AS Roma.
