Ivan Rakitic is reportedly open to the prospect of leaving Barcelona in January amid interest from Manchester United and Juventus.

Ivan Rakitic will reportedly consider the prospect of leaving Barcelona in January amid interest from Manchester United and Juventus.

The Croat, who joined the club in 2014, has been rendered surplus to requirements under Ernesto Valverde this season, making just one start in La Liga.

Barcelona are open to dispensing with Rakitic in the January window as Valverde looks to address a bloated midfield that has seven players competing for three places.

According to the Daily Mail, the midfielder is now open to offers from United and Juventus ahead of the January transfer window.

It is claimed that Paris Saint-Germain expressed keen interest in Rakitic over the summer, only for the 31-year-old to signal that he was determined to remain at Camp Nou.

Other reports have claimed that Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte also wants to sign Rakitic in January as he works on strengthening his midfield.
