Barcelona's Ivan Rakitic rejects speculation about future

Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic has dismissed rumours about his future with the Spanish champions in a post on Instagram.

Following the signing of Andre Gomes from Valencia, Miquel Sors, one of Rakitic's representatives, tweeted "It's time to go" leading to speculation the Croatia international could be set to quit Camp Nou.

However, Rakitic then posted on Instagram: "Getting ready for the new season and really up for it. By the way, my only agent is Arturo Canales."
