JUVENTUS Increasingly Confident of Keeping Adrien Rabiot Amidst Manchester United Interest
Adrien Rabiot, the French midfielder, is regarded as Manchester United’s main backup plan after Chelsea rejected three bids for Mason Mount. However, Juventus is reportedly confident of renewing Rabiot’s contract and keeping him at the club.
Rabiot’s Current Contract
Rabiot’s current four-year deal with Juventus ends this month. He has had arguably his finest season in Italy since arriving from PSG in 2019. Sky Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio believes that Rabiot could sign a new 12-month contract with the Serie A giants rather than depart on a free transfer.
Manchester United’s Interest in Rabiot
Premier League giants like Manchester United have been linked with the 28-year-old over the past couple of seasons. However, Rabiot appears more settled than ever in Italy, leaving Red Devils’ boss Erik ten Hag facing a growing headache in his hunt to bring in a proven playmaker.
Manchester United’s Hunt for a Playmaker
Ten Hag wants alternatives to Christian Eriksen next to Bruno Fernandes. But Chelsea have reportedly rejected United’s third offer for Mount of around £55million. The England ace is thought to have agreed personal terms with Old Trafford officials. However, with the Blues demanding £65m for the 24-year-old, United are now considering giving up the chase.
Manchester United’s Alternatives
The Manchester Evening News suggests that the Red Devils would then switch attention to four other midfield options. Rabiot was considered by many to be a prime contender until claims of Juventus keeping him.
