Rabiot’s contract at the club ends in the summer, and he is not looking to extend his stay in Turin. There are quite a few clubs interested in acquiring his services. Arsenal and Chelsea are two clubs who have been monitoring the Juventus midfielder’s situation for a while now.
The Gunners are keen on having more depth in the centre of the park. Their manager wants more quality in his rotation as they look to push for the Premier League title again next season and are set to return to the Champions League after a long while.
Arteta would love to have someone with the experience of Rabiot in his ranks. Meanwhile, even Chelsea are interested in the French international. The Blues might have spent a fortune on transfers. But they have failed miserably on the field. They will look to offload a few of their senior players in the summer and push for a new central midfielder.
Chelsea like the profile of Rabiot and could push for him. However, both Arsenal and Chelsea will face tough competition from Newcastle United. The Magpies have made Rabiot their priority heading into the summer window.
Newcastle are set to feature in Europe next season, and they are looking to push for the league title. The Magpies want more depth as well as quality in the centre of the park.
