Barcelona rival Juventus and Man Utd for Ilkay Gundogan
Juventus spent the whole summer making inquiries about the Borussia Dortmund midfielder without ever entering into serious negotiations with the Bundesliga club.
However, Sport are reporting that the 24-year-old will be the object of a Bianconeri offer during the January window. Gundogan is also reported to have rejected Manchester United's advances during the break.
According to the Catalan paper, however, La Liga giants Barcelona have also thrown their hat into the ring. Having started just one Bundesliga game in 2013-2014, Gundogan seems to have put his long-term back injury behind him, starting 13 games this season for a total of 1066 minutes.
The former Nurnberg midfielder would be another arrow in Juventus' quiver, as the Bianconeri have struggled to adapt to life without Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal.
