A report claims that Manchester United are weighing up an offer for Ivan Rakitic, who may be made available to purchase by Barcelona in the summer.

Manchester United are among the sides keeping tabs on Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic, according to a report.

The 30-year-old's Camp Nou future is believed to be in doubt as Frenkie de Jong is due to arrive from Ajax in the summer and Atletico Madrid's Saul Niguez is another possible target.

La Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that Barcelona may be tempted to cash in on Rakitic to help balance their books, and contact has already been made by Inter Milan.

A number of other clubs are also preparing offers, though, with Man United said to be one of those keeping tabs on the Croatia international's situation.

Rakitic earns a net salary of £4.7m in Catalonia and recently stated that he would like to see out the remaining three years of his contract if given the choice.

However, Barca are reportedly open to offers of around £39m for the former Sevilla ace.
