Juventus are looking to do a swap deal involving Ivan Rakitic and Federico Bernardeschi during the January transfer window, according to Italian outlet 'La Repubblica'.

The plan is for Juve to send 25-year-old Federico Bernardeschi to the Camp Nou in exchange for adding Rakitic's experience to their midfield. This was a transfer that was originally talked about back in the summer.

Rakitic is being edged out of the first-team picture at Barça whilst Bernardeschi has lost his place in recent weeks. Maurizio Sarri, who was against the deal six months ago, is now open to the idea of a swap.
