Man United, Juve battle it out for Rakitic
Posted Thursday, October 03, 2019 by ESPN
Manchester United face a battle to land Barcelona star Ivan Rakitic, with top Italian sides Juventus and Inter Milan joining the race to sign the Croatian, according to Calciomercato.
United have lacked both depth and leadership in the ranks this season, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has identified Rakitic as the ideal man to lend some vital experience to his squad when the transfer window opens in January.
Barca are said to be keen to offload the World Cup finalist, who has started just once in La Liga this season, with reports suggesting that the Spanish side are willing to part with Rakitic for ï¿¡50 million.
But United look set to be scuppered in their attempts to sign the midfielder, with reports in Italy suggesting that the Red Devils are set to miss out on the man who is believed to have topped their wish list for some time.
