rip Rakitić. average player, who can only shine in a small club

He's no Modric, that's for sure.

Did Rakitic have some crazy buyout clause before this season? From what i have read he's been a stud since coming to Sevilla. why no interest from clubs a year or two ago.
 
Scouting advice for big clubs. Just buy whichever striker Atletico is interested in. Bound to be a world beater at some point.

Well, Atletico was interested in Jackson Martinez (Porto) and Carlos Bacca (Sevilla) since Falcao left.

Most likely they will try to go for Bacca.

Yeah, €40m. This season he really kicked on too, getting plenty of goals & assists v Atleti/Barca/Real, as well as being MOTM in the Europa League final.

He only has one year left on his deal, hence the fee...

I don't believe the amount of time left on his deal was the kicker here. They definitely could have gotten far more than €20m for him -- I think they indicated they would not sell for less than his release clause. As I pointed out above, there were some rumors in the last few weeks that he had a separate clause in his deal that allowed for certain clubs to purchase him at a lesser price.
 
Giggs has got the shifty eyes of someone who shagged his brother's wife. And got caught. And had it splashed all over the papers.

No one but Atlético are showing interest in Milan Badelj, so you'll probably be asking this question again in a few years.
