Ivan Rakitić planning January exit to Juventus - report

Ivan Rakitiu0107 has not given up on a move to Juventus, and will try to make it happen in the winter transfer window, according to Tuttosport. The Croatian was set on joining the Italian champions but Barcelona did not agree to get Emre Can in exchange and Juventus did not want to give up Federico Bernardeschi, per the report.

Rakitiu0107 has struggled for playing time since the arrival of Frenkie de Jong, and it is said he is looking to make his move and Juventus is the preferred destination. The bianconeri are committed to Rakitiu0107 as well, it is said, because he fits the mold of a prototypical midfielder for Maurizio Sarri’s system.
