Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Juventus want Rakitic in player swap with Barcelona

Juventus have reached out to Barcelona to make one final attempt to sign Ivan Rakitic before the transfer window closes on Monday. The Serie A side have been linked to the Croatian midfielder all summer, while Barca boss Ernesto Valverde has been leaving him on the bench so far this season. And&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/ultimo-intento-juve-para-fichar-rakitic-7615001" target="_blank">Sport</a>&nbsp;says Juve are hoping to lure him to Turin in the final hours of the window and are offering Barca players in exchange, with Emre Can the man the Catalan side are open to taking.

<a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/paul-pogba-makes-man-utd-19118153" target="_blank">The Mirror</a> report that the midfielder was Zinedine Zidane’s top target for Los Blancos and the Real boss was said to be furious after missing out Pogba. The United man is also supposedly keen on a move to the Bernabeu and plans to refuse any attempt by the Red Devils to tie him down to a long-term contract. Pogba - who had a £180 million ($219m/€199m) fee placed on his head this summer - hopes he can force through a move next year by his refusal to extend his current deal at Old Trafford.
