Juventus had a scout in the stands for Racing Santander's 1-1 draw with UEFA Cup opponents Schalke 04 last night.

Juve posted Domenico Arnuzzo to run his eye over Schalke's Croatia international midfielder Ivan Rakitic.

Rakitic has been a long-term target for Juve, though some on Jean-Claude Blanc's staff have doubts over his tactical awareness.
