3. Ivan Rakitic
There is no doubting his talent and ability, and he is one of Croatia’s 3 superstars along with Luka Modric and Mario Mandzukic, but he has been struggling as of late, and as it has been seen this season, Chelsea is not the place for midfielders to thrive, as if Juan Mata cannot be guaranteed a starting spot, it is unlikely Rakitic will. Now playing for struggling Sevilla, he is a Champions League quality player and may want to leave, but Chelsea already have enough good midfielders, and Rakitic needs game time for the upcoming world cup. A move for the former Schalke man could prove disastrous for everyone involved.
