Sevilla midfielder Ivan Rakitic is to sign a two-year contract with Saudi Arabian side Al Shabab, journalist Nicolo Scira reports on his Twitter page.
The Croatian footballer is dissatisfied with the amount of playing time he receives under Sevilla's new head coach Quique Sanchez Flores. The 35-year-old has already said goodbye to some of the Andalusian club's staff.
Rakitic intends to complete the transfer before 30 January, when the transfer window closes in Saudi Arabia.
