Juve will have another go at signing Rakitic

According to 'Tuttosport', Rakitic is still on Juventus' agenda. In fact, they will try again in January.

Rakitic was willing to leave Barcelona. Finally, transfer deadline day passed and he will have to stay at the Camp Nou. The Croat's desire was to play at Juventus, but the Spanish club did not let him. 

Juventus have not given up and they will insist. As soon as the Janaury transfer window opens, according to 'Tuttosport', the Old Lady will make Barca another offer. 

If the move is not completed in the winter, Juve will try once again next summer. Whatever they need to do to sign Rakitic. 

The season has now started and we will have to see whether Ernesto Valverde has plans to include Rakitic in the squad. Otherwise, that could be a reason Juve justify their interest in Rakitic in the future. 

The Croat is well liked by the Juventus board. He was close to moving to Turin. It remains to seen whether, as Italian media point out, Juve manage to sign the footballer in a forthcoming window.
