Arsenal and Tottenham have been offered the chance to sign free agent Adrien Rabiot as he continues his struggle to find a new club.
According to Team Talk, Arsenal and Tottenham still have a chance to sign Adrien Rabiot on a Bosman move, with the player being offered to them. The north London duo aren’t alone, as Manchester United were recently linked with the midfielder, who continues his struggle to find a new club.
Arsenal and Tottenham linked with Adrien Rabiot
Adrien Rabiot reportedly rejected the idea of continuing with Juventus and left the club on a free transfer when his contract expired. The Frenchman was insistent on joining a Premier League side this summer and might have held talks with a few of those teams.
Managed by his Mother/agent, Rabiot’s salary demands and a sizeable signing-on fee have so far scuppered a chance to join an English team. Manchester United was linked, and with Casemiro’s links to Galatasaray, they might have even considered the 29-year-old as a replacement for the Brazilian, as Premier League sides can still sign free agents outside of the regular transfer window.
Now, Arsenal and Tottenham may still have the chance to sign the Frenchman. As Casemiro is intent on staying at the club, the chance of the club signing Rabiot are all but over. Spurs boss Ange Postecogliu might still feel a bit short with his midfield options, but that position is not a necessity after the window has shut, which could see them pass up the expensive opportunity to sign the 29-year-old.
As for Arsenal, they have a few problems in midfield, namely with the new signing of Mikel Merino. The Spaniard suffered an unfortunate shoulder injury in his first-ever training session, which will see him miss the best part of two months. Hence, Mikel Arteta chooses to look at Rabiot; it would seem logical; however, the 29-year-old would push back the club financially, something they might need to follow through with.
Rabiot arrival linked with Jorginho exit
In recent days, Galatasaray missed out on Casemiro and immediately set their sights on Arsenal’s Jorginho. The idea is that if the Italian were to leave, as many reports have suggested, he might be owing to a lack of game time in the current season under Arteta.
Arsenal is interested in selling Jorginho, as Arteta considers the Italian key to his plans. With some heavy load for his team waiting in the mix, the manager will see the Italian’s presence as integral and non-problematic in terms of the midfielder demanding regular playing time. As the experienced star is set for a stay, Rabiot will likely not join the north London giants anytime soon.
