Adrien Rabiot has been linked with a move away from Juventus in recent months, with Manchester United and Aston Villa keen.
Adrien Rabiot is nearing the end of his contract at Juventus. But a report from 90min has claimed that the Serie A club are optimistic about extending his stay despite transfer links with Manchester United and Aston Villa.
The 28-year-old French midfielder has been a key player for Juventus, and they will want to hold on to him for the long run. It is not surprising that they are hoping to extend his contract in the coming months. It will be interesting to see if Rabiot is willing to commit his future to the club. He has been linked with a move to the Premier League in the past as well.
Manchester United need to add more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and Rabiot has emerged as a viable target. He could be the ideal partner for Casemiro in theory. The French international will help Manchester United control the tempo of the game, and he will help out defensively as well.
Rabiot has proven his quality for club and country over the years, and he should be able to make an immediate impact at Old Trafford if he joins the club. Similarly, Aston Villa need more quality in their side if they want to push for Champions League qualification in the coming seasons.
It will be interesting to see if the French international is willing to join a club competing in the UEFA Europa Conference League. Rabiot might want to join a big club capable of fighting for major trophies, and Unai Emery will have to work hard in order to convince the 28-year-old to join the West Midlands club.
Aston Villa have shown tremendous improvement under their new manager, and they will look to push for Champions League qualification in the coming seasons. Signing the right players in January will help them finish this season strongly, and Rabiot would be a superb acquisition. He has the physicality, technical attributes and experience to thrive in the Premier League.
