Barcelona are reportedly considering a move for Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot.
The Old Lady are being tipped to welcome Paul Pogba back to Turin for the 2021-22 campaign, but they would have to trim their midfield ranks down before landing the Manchester United man.
Juventus and Barcelona shook hands on a swap deal for Arthur and Miralem Pjanic last summer - a deal which has not exactly benefited either party given the two players' struggles at their new clubs - but another bit of business between the two European powerhouses could be on the cards.
According to Calciomercato, Juventus are willing to listen to offers for Rabiot this summer, and their strong relationship with Barcelona means that a move to Camp Nou for the former Paris Saint-Germain lynchpin is a possibility.
The report claims that Andrea Pirlo's side want to cut Rabiot's €7m (£5.9m) salary from their wage bill, and if an offer of €20m (£17m) came in for the 26-year-old, they would happily allow him to leave this summer.
Rabiot has chalked up two goals from 24 appearances for Juventus in the 2020-21 Serie A campaign, and he is under contract in Turin until 2023.
