Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano exclusively revealed to GIVEMESPORT that Juventus made a “last-minute approach” to Adrien Rabiot to keep him on staff despite rumors of a move to Manchester United.
Erik ten Hag plans to make a move during the summer transfer window to strengthen the Red Devils’ midfield.
Man Utd transfer news – Adrien Rabiot
Manchester United is one of the teams most interested in signing Rabiot, who will become a free agent at the end of the season when his £149,000 per week contract ends, according to AS (via Man Utd News).
Last summer, the Red Devils were in prime position to sign the 28-year-old, but negotiations stalled because the parties’ pay demands were incompatible.
However, United have rekindled their interest in the Juventus midfielder now that he is a free agent.
In the meantime, Juventus reportedly met with the midfielder’s representatives this week in an effort to keep him at the Allianz Stadium, according to Calciomercato.
According to fresh information provided to GIVEMESPORT by Sky Sports writer Dharmesh Sheth, the Red Devils are still interested in signing Rabiot and are preparing an offer before his current contract with the Serie A team expires.
In addition, Romano gave an update on Rabiot, calling him “interesting name” on Manchester United’s shortlist.
What has Romano stated regarding Romano and Man Utd?
Adrien Rabiot has had a last-minute approach from Juventus to try to extend his contract, but this is not at all simple, Romano said to GIVEMESPORT.
Juventus is aware that playing in the Premier League is the player’s top priority. He is a noteworthy candidate for Manchester United.
Would Rabiot be a wise addition to Manchester United?
Without considering his skill, United may use the addition of Rabiot to their roster given the unclear future of Scott McTominay.
The French international has made 48 appearances for Juventus this season, scoring 11 goals and setting up six more for his teammates, demonstrating his effectiveness as an offensive force.
The midfielder ranks as Massimiliano Allegri’s team’s best performer with an impressive average WhoScored rating of 7.11 for his performances in Serie A this season, suggesting that he has been an important part of the Turin-based team.
Therefore, as ten Hag aims to get the Red Devils regularly challenging for the top titles, United could do much worse than gaining the signature of a proven top-level player on a free transfer.
