Croatia midfielder Ivan Rakitic has told PSG superstar Lionel Messi to snub his purported return to Barcelona and join him at Sevilla.

According to him, the Argentine should be running to Andalusia immediately if he wants to enjoy life because no other city would provide him with a better treatment.

Rakitic, who was Messi’s teammate for many successful years at Barcelona, also added that Sevilla would give Messi a flat next to La Catedral, the most famous tourist attraction in Seville.
