Juventus have reportedly identified Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic as a potential January signing.

While the Croatia international was allegedly available for transfer during the summer, the 31-year-old eventually remained at Camp Nou for the first half of the campaign.

However, Rakitic has failed to move up the pecking order at the Catalan giants, leaving open the possibility of a switch to a new club.

According to reports in Spain, Juventus are contemplating whether to try to bring in the player, despite being well stocked for options in the middle of the pitch.

The report adds that although Barcelona are open to parting ways with Rakitic, they are not in any rush to cash in on the former Sevilla man.

Inter Milan and AC Milan are also said to be monitoring the situation.
