Newcastle United unlikely to pursue Adrien Rabiot

Liverpool, Newcastle make moves to sign 29-year-old Frenchman, player wants Real Madrid switch.

Newcastle United are focusing on pursuing a move for Adrien Rabiot, as Eddie Howe has other priorities for his squad.

According to Football Insider, Newcastle United are unlikely to pursue a move for Adrien Rabiot at this time. Eddie Howe likes the midfielder, but the squad has other priorities in this transfer window, while Liverpool are also linked with the 29-year-old former Juventus star.

No Adrien Rabiot move to Newcastle United

Newcastle United are in the market to strengthen different positions, with suggestions that they might even look for an opportunistic signing in midfield. Currently, a few signings of that sort are available, including Adrien Rabio, with Newcastle United showing an interest earlier.

Rabiot is available on a free transfer after leaving Juventus upon the expiry of his contract, which does make him an attractive option. While being a Bosman transfer, all interested parties might have to consider his substantial wage demands as well as a hefty signing-on fee.

While he might cost significantly less than some other experienced midfielders, Newcastle United are not keen to pursue a deal for the 29-year-old Frenchman as things stand. They have other priorities, like a right winger, and they are looking away from the signing of a player like Rabiot for the time being.

Moreover, Howe has excellent options as a central midfielder, certainly boosted by the return of Sandro Tonali after a lengthy betting ban. Additionally, they are likely to keep Bruno Guimaraes despite the many significant links with rival clubs, meaning Howe has good enough options in the middle of the park.

Liverpool still linked with Rabiot

While Newcastle United unlikely to make a move for the 29-year-old, Liverpool are still interested, as they consider Rabiot an alternative to Martin Zubimendi. Arne Slot wants a good enough central midfielder to bolster the ranks; there are some doubts about the Real Sociedad star’s transfer to Anfield as things stand.

Hence, the Merseysiders might still be able to make the move for the Frenchman, although he is not their absolute priority. Rabiot’s agent has held talks with many other sides, as the midfielder has no shortage of interest from the Premier League or elsewhere.
