Ivan Rakitić (born 10 March 1988) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays for Spanish club FC Barcelona and the Croatia national team as a central or attacking midfielder.

Rakitić started his professional career at Basel and spent two seasons with them before he was signed by Schalke 04. After spending three and a half seasons in the Bundesliga, he was signed by Sevilla in January 2011. Two years later, Rakitić was confirmed as the club captain and captained the team to UEFA Europa League triumph. In June 2014, Barcelona and Sevilla reached an agreement on the transfer of Rakitić.

On the international level, Rakitić plays for the Croatia national team. Although naturally a product of Switzerland's youth level, Rakitić pledged his international career to his parents' country of Croatia instead. He made his debut for Croatia in 2007 and has since represented the country at UEFA Euro 2008, UEFA Euro 2012 and the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
