The Croatian midfielder has become a fixture in Luis Enrique's first team since joining from Sevilla, and is ready to extend his deal which expires in 2019
Barcelona star Ivan Rakitic has confirmed he is in contract talks with the Camp Nou club.
The Croatia international joined Barca from Sevilla in June 2014 and helped his new side to a historic treble in his debut campaign, followed by winning the Club World Cup this season.
Rakitic still has three-and-a-half years left to run on his current deal, but revealed he is already in discussions over fresh terms.
"I have a contract until 2019, but we already started negotiating about renewal," he told 24 sata .
"I know it will be very hard to equal 2015, but I will try to make 2016 at least as good. No one ever defended the Champions League title, there is our motivation.
"My favourite moment of 2015 was scoring a goal in the Champions League final. Last year was great both in my professional and private life. My wife is pregnant, we will have second daughter in four months.
