Barça & Juventus could talk about the Croatian again in January

It wasn't possible in the summer but Ivan Rakitic's possible move to Juventus is not over. Talks were ongoing over a possible exchange for Emre Can -- the 25-year-old German -- but Barcelona were not convinced by the offer.

Rakitic, aware that he may not be a regular at Barça this season, still has the offer from Juve on his mind and, according to Tuttosport, would be ready to leave in January. 

The Croatian has not changed his opinion and if his situation doesn't change dramatically between now and then -- he's been a substitute in all three league games so far, coming on once -- he could push for a mid-season move. 

The transfer window has only just closed, but thoughts are already turning to January. Let's see if there's a surprise for Christmas.
