Adrien Rabiot has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent weeks, with Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle United keen on signing him.
According to a report from Give Me Sport, Adrien Rabiot is seeking a deal with around £220,000-a-week wages at his next club. Arsenal, Manchester United, and Newcastle United are keen on signing him in a Bosman move.
It will be interesting to see if any club is willing to pay that kind of money for the 2022 World Cup runners-up. Recent reports have suggested that Manchester United and Newcastle United have been spooked by the Frenchman’s demands.
There is no doubt that Rabiot has proven himself for club and country over the years, and he could be a quality acquisition for all three clubs. However, they will not want to break the wage structure to accommodate him.
Arsenal need a midfield controller who will help them control the tempo of the game and help out defensively. On paper, the 29-year-old midfielder seems like the ideal fit, and it remains to be seen whether the Gunners are prepared to make a move for him.
Manchester United and Newcastle want Rabiot
Manchester United need more quality and depth in the midfield department. Rabiot could be the ideal acquisition for the Red Devils, and he could form a quality partnership with Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte.
The French midfielder is at the peak of his powers right now, and he will look to hit the ground running in the Premier League. He has the physical and technical attributes to do well in English football, and he could be a key player for both clubs.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United are keen on the player as well. They have an ambitious project and will look to build a squad capable of pushing for trophies regularly. The Magpies will look to secure Champions League qualification this season as well. The 29-year-old could make a big difference for Newcastle United in the midfield.
The player will have to accept a reasonable wage for the move to go through. All three clubs have the financial resources to pay him a premium, but they are unlikely to want to cause unrest in the dressing room by paying him over the odds with a £220,000-a-week salary.
