Rakitic: `The leaving of Luis Enrique is a big loss for the team!`

The Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic admitted that one day he wants to work again with his former coaches Luis Enrique and Unai Emery.
`Of course, I would like to work again with them. They were fundamental people in my path of development and they seem very similar, because they are crazy about football and don`t like to lose, even in a game via rugby predictions with marbles.`, commented the Croatian footballer.
`The departure of Luis Enrique is a very great loss to Barcelona. He showed a great interest and faith in me when he took me to the club. He gave me confidence in the last three seasons.`, added Rakitic.
He talked about the summer of 2010, when he still played for Schalke: `The news of the arrival of Raul struck me as a joke. I asked myself why the greatest player in the history of Real Madrid is coming here to play.`
`For me, it was a great honor to play with him. He had a sparkle in his eyes that told you to say to yourself that this person can smell victory and knows how to achieve it. It was no surprise that with him in its ranks we reached to the semifinals of the Champions League.`, ended Rakitic.

Dani Alves is leaving Juventus

It is now fully certain that Dani Alves will leave Juventus this summer. The news was confirmed by the club`s executive director Giuseppe Marotta.
`Dani Alves decided that he wanted to change the situation, so we came to an agreement to split up and wish him all the best. That is not about the rift, and for motivation, which is the key for every footballer.`, said Marotta to `Gazzetta dello Sport`.
The 34-year-old Brazilian player made an impressive season, having helped the team to win a double at home and reach the Champions League final, where they lost against Real Madrid.
However, some problems in the relationship between the player and the club followed and the fans also left happy with some performances of the defender, who last summer signed with Juventus for two years after an impressive stay in Spain, where he played for Sevilla and Barcelona.
In this situation, his formal joining Manchester City is expected soon. The club analyzed by football predictions has long been a favorite for his signature, although Chelsea is in the fight for him.

Milan has an offer for Aubameyang

The seven-time European club champion Milan is serious in its intentions to take the scorer of Bundesliga Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Only days ago, the Sporting Director of Borussia Dortmund Michael Zorc confirmed that the club has not received any offer for his footballer.
According to the Italian press, however, the Sporting Director of the Rossoneri, Mauro Fasone made contact with the Germans and has offered 60 million for the footballer. Milan offered Aubameyang an annual salary in the amount of 7.5 million, plus bonuses.
It is not clear whether Borussia and the footballer are impressed by the financial parameters because Paris Saint-Germain offers more money as the Ruhr club and Aubameyang. It is expected a higher offer to be given by Arsenal from London.
