Juve Eye Rakitic - Report <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Old Lady have had their eye on the 20-year-old since last year and were considering a move in the January transfer window before buying then-Liverpool destroyer Momo Sissoko. But Juve’s interest in the Schalke star has not waned, and they have been watching with interest his performances for Croatia in Austria and Switzerland this month. Dubbed as a hugely promising ‘trequartista’, the Swiss-born playmaker has been used on the right side of Slaven Bilic’s star-studded midfield and has impressed with his vision and technique. Such adaptability has led to suggestions the former FC Basel man could succeed Pavel Nedved at the Bianconeri, as the Czech great is expected to retire at the end of next season. Juve boss Claudio Ranieri will have to splash out at least ₤12million to capture Rakitic, who has also attracted interest from Internazionale, according to reports from Italy.</div>
He was born in Switzerland and played for their U21 team. Then switched to Croatia and currently plays at Schalke. The thing is he's only 20. lol
