Juventus 'revive Ivan Rakitic interest'

Juventus are reportedly ready to revive their interest in Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic at the start of 2020.

The Croatia international has been strongly linked with a move away from the Spanish champions in recent months having struggled to secure regular football in the early stages of the 2019-20 campaign.

The 2018 World Cup finalist has worked his way back into the side in recent matches, although it is thought that the midfielder's future at Camp Nou is still far from secure.

Juve were thought to have dropped their pursuit of Rakitic amid interest from the likes of Inter Milan and AC Milan, but according to Corriere di Torino, the Italian champions are now considering a January swoop.

The report claims that the uncertainty surrounding the future of Emre Can could force the Old Lady into the winter market to improve their midfield.

Rakitic, who has also been linked with Manchester United, has won four La Liga titles and the Champions League during his time with the Spanish giants.
