Juventus offer Emre Can in swap deal for Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic?

Juventus have reportedly asked Barcelona whether they have any interest in signing Emre Can this summer.

While the Germany international made 37 appearances during his first season in Turin, it has been claimed that newly-appointed head coach Maurizio Sarri is happy to part ways with the former Liverpool man.

Juventus are also said to hold an interest in Ivan Rakitic at a time when Barcelona would allegedly like to cash in on the Croatia international.

According to Tuttosport, this has resulted in Juventus asking the Catalan giants whether they would like Can in part-exchange for the 31-year-old.

Despite Can being six years younger and being able to play in a number of positions, it is suggested that Juve may also be willing to offer cash as part of any deal.

Juventus director Fabio Paratici has been holding discussions with Barcelona regarding a number of potential transfers.
