Ivan Rakitic considering Manchester United, Juventus moves?

Ivan Rakitic will reportedly complete a move to either Manchester United or Juventus in the January transfer window should he continue to be ostracised at Barcelona.

Following the signing of Frenkie de Jong over the summer, the Croat has been reduced to just one La Liga start this season.

With seven players competing for three midfield spots at Camp Nou, Ernesto Valverde is reportedly willing to dispense with Rakitic in January.

According to Marca, Rakitic is now seriously weighing up the possibility of moving to either Manchester or Turin if things fail to improve in Catalonia.

Reports state that both Inter Milan and AC Milan are also interested in signing the midfielder once the January window opens.

United are said to have placed primary emphasis on securing Rakitic having failed to sign a midfielder over the summer.
