Ivan Rakitic is fed-up with his situation at Barcelona.

The midfielder has struggled for first team football this season.

"How can I have fun? By playing football," the 31-year-old told Movistar+.

And it's like I often say, how does my little daughter feel when you take a toy away from her? Sad.

Well, I feel the same. [Barca] have taken my ball away from me and I'm sad about it.

I understand and respect the decisions of the coach, club or whoever, but I think I've given a lot in these five years.

What I want is to continue having fun, that's the most important thing for me. I can only have fun by playing.

I'm 31 years old, not 38, and I feel like I'm in my prime."
