The two giants had been constantly linked with doing business together in the January transfer window, however nothing ever materialised.
Now Spanish broadcaster TV3 speculates that the two clubs could do business this summer, involving a straight swap between Douglas Costa and Ivan Rakitic.

Now Spanish broadcaster TV3 speculates that the two clubs could do business this summer, involving a straight swap between Douglas Costa and Ivan Rakitic.
Juve have been long linked with a move for the Croatian, and the idea was mooted of another swap deal, but with Federico Bernardeschi as the makeweight, and not the Brazilian winger.
Barca, for their part, are reportedly admirers of the 29-year-old winger, despite his injury record.
Costa has missed large swathes of the season due to a plethora of different muscle injuries, and the Bianconeri may decide to offload the former Bayern Munich player.
