The 28-year-old’s previous contract was due to expire in 2019, but the player committed himself to the club that will keep him at the Camp Nou until 2021.
The midfielder, who scored six goals in 37 appearances across all competitions this season, will officially sign the contract on Friday.
Rakitic was part of the side that delivered one of the greatest comebacks in Champions League history over Paris Saint-Germain last night.
