Ivan Rakitic is on Real Madrid's radar, according to Cadena Cope radio. The Croatian midfielder has also received an offer from Atlético, but he has opted for 'Los Blancos', given their interest.

Ivan Rakitic's brother and agent has already spoken with Real's general manager, José Ángel Sánchez, who would have told him of the club's interest in signing him. Real's obvious intention is to create a Croatian connection in midfield, partnering him with his fellow countryman Luka Modric.

Rakitic has one year left on his contract at Sevilla. The club has offered him a new deal, but nothing has been agreed yet and, all things considered, it looks as though they should maybe sit down and negotiate a deal for their player.
