PSG want Rakitic and Busquets
Barcelona pair wanted at Parc des Princes
Paris Saint-Germain are exploring the option of luring Ivan Rakitic and Sergio Busquets away from Barcelona, reports Spanish publication Sport.
Their efforts to land Busquets appear set to come to nothing, with it understood that the World Cup winner has fresh terms in place at Camp Nou which will raise his release clause to €200m (£179m/$228m).
PSG may, however, have more success with Rakitic, with it possible that they could meet the €125m (£112m/$143m) asking price in his contract.
