Ivan Rakitic has said goodbye to some workers at Sevilla, report Relevo's Sergio Santos and Alonso Rivero.
The Croatian is negotiating a January departure to Saudi Arabian club Al Shabab where former Atletico Madrid winger Yannick Carrasco plays.
Rakitic has been an impact sub in the last few matches for Sevilla. His role under Quique Sanchez Flores is no longer as prominent as it used to be under the previous managers.
Rakitic's exit would help Sevilla reduce the wage bill. The Andalusians are currently just 17th in the La Liga table, one point ahead of the relegation zone.
The 35-year-old played for Barcelona from 2014 to 2020, scoring 35 goals and delivering 42 assists as a central midfielder. He won 13 trophies with Blaugrana, including the Champions League.
