Juventus and Barcelona are in advanced talks over a midfield swap deal.

Juve sports chief Fabio Paratici was in Barcelona earlier this week for talks over a series transfer issues.

Tuttosport says negotiations have progressed over a swap involving Emre Can and Barca ace Ivan Rakitic.

Paratici has offered Can in part-exchange for the Croatia international and talks are moving positively.

Both players are no longer required players at their respective clubs.
