Schalke midfielder Ivan Rakitic says he fancies a move to Juventus.

"Nedved is an incredible player and it's impossible to compare myself to him," he told Calciomercato.com.

"He has been playing at the highest level for years whereas I am just starting my career.

"But I will always give my best and look to improve. I believe in my abilities and I think I can be like Nedved.

"I am happy here in Germany, but I wouldn't rule out a move to Italy. I know that several clubs are interested in me, but it's too early to discuss that."
