Manchester United are leading the chase for ‘free agent’ Adrien Rabiot as the Frenchman has set his sights on a departure from Juventus.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via Sport Witness, Manchester United are leading the chase for Adrien Rabiot ahead of rivals. The 28-year-old versatile midfielder will soon become a free agent as he seeks a departure from Juventus when his contract expires.
Manchester United intends to strengthen the core areas of their first-team squad. Erik ten Hag may have seen his side lose out to bitter rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup Final, but the Dutchman has big ambitions to succeed with the club.
After what’s described as a progressive season under Ten Hag, fans hope that the club sufficiently strengthens the squad. In short, it does appear like a crucial transfer window for Manchester United, with Ten Hag seeking several players in key positions.
While there are question marks over who might become their new striker, the Red Devils also need new midfielders. There’s confidence over the signing of Mason Mount from Chelsea, with the midfielder reportedly agreeing on personal terms.
Ten Hag may see Mount in an advanced position, which brings the Dutchman to find a new partner for Casemiro. There have been plenty of suggestions in the media, including that of Adrien Rabiot. The 28-year-old versatile midfielder will become a ‘free agent’ as he seeks a departure from Juventus when his contract expires.
Juventus have tried to extend the Frenchman’s contract, but they are not resigned to losing him. Rabiot re-established himself last season after becoming a regular under Massimiliano Allegri. He now seeks a new challenge, and the possibility of England keeps growing.
Manchester United had long registered their interest in signing the 28-year-old versatile midfielder. Rabiot was close to joining them last summer before a possible move fell through at the last minute. He may have no qualms about re-opening dialogue with the Red Devils ahead of the new window.
Other clubs, including PSG, Bayern Munich and several Premier League sides, are looking at Rabiot. Newcastle were reportedly ready to offer lucrative terms to the 28-year-old versatile midfielder.
Manchester United are putting together a bumper package for the Frenchman to prise him away to Old Trafford. The report suggests the Red Devils are clear front runners ahead of their rivals in the chase for the 28-year-old versatile midfielder.
Such a deal emphasizes time, as Manchester United must push fast to get the player. He will prove to be a good addition, bring loads of experience to their midfield, and become a solid partner for Casemiro ahead of the new season.
