Arsenal are preparing an offer to acquire the services of the 28-year-old Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot in January.
According to Calciomercatoweb via SportWitness, Arsenal are keen on having Adrien Rabiot in their ranks. They are preparing an offer to land the 28-year-old Juventus midfielder at the club in January. The Gunners are well aware of the amount of interest in his services and looking to get ahead of the competition by preparing an offer in advance.
Rabiot has been in sensational form over the past two seasons. The French international was expected to go from strength to strength after he joined Juventus in the summer of 2019 as a free agent. But, his move to the Old Lady didn’t work out well in the initial years.
He struggled and they were ready to offload him. However, Juventus couldn’t strike a deal for his services. He remained at the club and managed to play his way into the first team. The 28-year-old managed to become one of the mainstays of Juventus.
Rabiot had an exceptional World Cup campaign last year and there was a lot of interest in him with his contract running out in the summer of 2023. But, he ended up extending his stay. However, the new deal is only valid until the summer of 2024.
With his contract running out in less than a year’s time, there is a lot of interest in his services. Arsenal are one of the clubs that are keen on having the 28-year-old in their ranks. The Gunners are looking to challenge for major titles this season and they want to reinforce their midfielder in the winter window.
Mikel Arteta is a big admirer of the French international and believes his arrival could add depth as well as a lot of quality to their ranks. While they can sign a pre-agreement with the player in January over a transfer in the next summer, Arteta’s team are keen on having him in the winter.
As a result, they are looking to execute a swap deal that will see Jorginho join the Old Lady in return. While we don’t see many swap deals in the transfer market, this one seems to be a real possibility because both players are on similar wages and it seems to be a win-win situation for both parties involved.
