Rakitic and his family decided to leave the island of Ugljan after an unknown attacker threw a stone and broke a window of the house where they were spending the holiday following Croatia&rsquo;s elimination from Euro 2016, the Vecernji list daily reported.
&ldquo;We tried to persuade him to stay, but... they decided to leave definitively,&rdquo; local official Karlo Novoselic told the newspaper.
A police spokesman confirmed the attack and said that one window was broken at the house, but added that &ldquo;for the time being police are not linking the incident with Rakitic.&rdquo;
Rakitic, 28, played a key role in some attractive Croatia performances at Euro 2016 but they were eliminated at the last-16 stage by Portugal in a match that went to extra-time.
