Intermediaries have reportedly approached Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United to discuss a move for Adrien Rabiot, a target for Real Madrid.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on HITC, Adrien Rabiot is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The reigning La Liga champions are keen on bolstering their midfield unit by signing the 29-year-old midfielder in a Bosman move. However, intermediaries have offered him to Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United after his Juventus exit as a free agent.
Adrien Rabiot has been one of the best midfielders in Serie A during his spell with Juventus. The Frenchman joined the Bianconeri in a Bosman move half a decade ago and became a mainstay in the middle of the park for the Serie A outfit. However, he has become a free agent after making over 200 appearances for Juventus, with his contract expiring a few days ago.
Where will Rabiot ply his trade next season?
The situation has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe, including Real Madrid. The Merengues have been scouring the market for a midfielder heading into the summer transfer window after losing Toni Kroos, who has called time on his glittering career. The 29-year-old free agent has thus emerged as a viable target for Real Madrid.
However, Real Madrid might face stiff competition from Premier League bigwigs for Adrien Rabiot’s signature, with intermediaries offering him to Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United. Arsenal can do with a player like the French international amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term future of Thomas Partey.
In addition, Adrien Rabiot has an impeccable fitness record, making him an appealing target for Arsenal. As for Liverpool, the Reds want to sign a replacement for Thiago Alcantara, who has called time on his career after struggling with persistent fitness issues at Anfield.
Meanwhile, Manchester United will likely part ways with Christian Eriksen and Casemiro, thereby necessitating signing a new midfielder. So, Rabiot is a viable target for all three Premier League clubs. However, recent reports have claimed the 29-year-old Frenchman is waiting for an approach from Real Madrid.
So, the Premier League bigwigs will face a tall order to secure Adrien Rabiot’s services in a Bosman move unless the Merengues choose not to pursue him. It will be interesting to see where the French international plies his trade in the 2024/25 season.
