Juventus keen on Barca duo

Catalan media outlet El Mundo Deportivo has suggested that Juventus are showing interest in Barcelona midfielders Andre Gomes and Ivan Rakitic.

The Bianconeri were beaten to the signature of the Portuguese footballer by Barcelona last summer, but they did not give up on the 23-year-old.

Juventus are aware that Gomes is unlikely to move clubs as long as Luis Enrique is at the helm, but they continue to monitor his performances with a view of luring him to Turin in the near future.

If the Portugal international remains at Camp Nou next summer, the Bianconeri could rekindle their interest in his teammate Ivan Rakitic, who has seen his status at the club worsen of late.

It would appear as though the Croatian is now behind Andre Gomes in the pecking order and even though he is negotiating a new contract, a summer exit cannot be ruled out.
