Both Ivan Rakitic at Barcelona and Emre Can at Juventus are in a similar kind of a situation at the moment. Both of them are looking at a club where they can continue to thrive in their respective football careers and do not seem to be in the long term plans of their present clubs.

In recent times there have been reports from England which hint that Manchester United have been interested in including both Can and Rakitic in their team but it looks like their careers will take a completely different turn.

According to a report carried by Don Balon, a Spanish media outlet, Barcelona are planning to include out of favour Juventus player in their team. Meanwhile, the report also adds that Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo also wants the Barcelona star in their team.

It is worth highlighting that Rakitic was in fact close to a Juventus move this summer and in fact wanted the Croatian in their team but the deal could not materialise and the midfielder remained in Barcelona. Rakitic could still be drafted in the Juve squad before the season ends.
