Barcelona have agreed to buy Croatia World Cup midfielder Ivan Rakitic from La Liga rivals Sevilla, the two clubs said on Monday, in a deal local media reported was worth around 20 million euros ($27.2 million). "Barcelona and Sevilla have reached agreement for the transfer of Ivan Rakitic," Barca said in a statement on their website (www.fcbarcelona.es), adding that the 26-year-old would sign a five-year contract. Rakitic arrives at Barca after the club announced last week Cesc Fabregas was leaving to join English Premier League side Chelsea and he is seen as a natural replacement for the Spain playmaker.
