Open talks between Juventus and Barcelona, but no deal yet in place

A dialogue between Barcelona and Juventus has been ongoing for several days but has not yet produced any agreement. The two clubs have tried to complete two swaps, firstly, defender Daniele Rugani is expendable for Juve, while Barcelona are offering Umtiti or Todibo. The other deal revolves around midfielder Ivan Rakitic, with Barça asking for Bernardeschi in return. However, there has not been a deal reached on the player's valuations, as for the blaugrana the deal is an even swap, while Juventus are requesting an economic counterpart in their favor. Therefore, both deals are currently on standby.
