Barcelona president alerts Inter: 'Rakitic is important, but salaries should be balanced'

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has said that while Ivan Rakitic is an important player for the club, finances should be balanced.

The Barca president was talking to ESPN and he said: "We want our players to be happy and satisfied. Rakitic is one of the most important players in Barcelona. The coach has a great confidence in him, his arrival here was a real breath of fresh air for our midfield, but we must maintain the right balance in terms of salaries, we will see at the end of the season what will happen with him."
