Ivan Rakitić, the Croatian midfielder, is set to leave Sevilla and join Al Shabab in the Saudi Pro League. Rakitić has completed medical tests and signed a contract termination with Sevilla, with the new contract expected to be valid until June 2025. The move marks the end of his 19-year spell in Europe. Meanwhile, Petar Musa is nearing a club-record deal with FC Dallas, and Miguel Almirón's move to Al Shabab is off as the SPL market closes. The news also includes the potential transfer of Duncan McGuire to a Championship club.
