'I want to play' - Rakitic hints at Barcelona departure if game time doesn't continue

The Croatian midfielder wants to stay at Camp Nou, as long as he is still getting on to the pitch consistently

Ivan Rakitic is confused by his position at Barcelona, saying he wanted more game time and there was 'no better place' than the being on the books of La Liga giants.

The Croatia international made just his second league start of the season and first since September in Sunday's 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid.

Rakitic, who has been at Barca since 2014, said he wanted to remain at Camp Nou, if he is getting game time consistently.
