Barcelona & Juventus Fail to Agree Swap Deal Involving Ivan Rakitic & Federico Bernardeschi

Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic's potential move to Juventus is said to be off after the two clubs failed to agree a swap deal which would have involved Federico Bernardeschi.

Rakitic has found himself down the pecking order at Barcelona so far this season, having made just one substitute appearance in La Liga, and, as such, his future at the club has been thrown into question.

It had been suggested by Goal Italia that Rakitic could potentially be on the move to Juventus with Bernardeshi going the other way to Barcelona in a swap deal, but journalist Romeo Agresti now reports that the deal will not be going ahead after the clubs failed to agree on a mutual valuation for the two players.
