Adrien Rabiot nearly moved to Manchester United last summer and despite the transfer collapsing due to differences in salary, United have continued to be interested in the 28-year-old Frenchman. According to The Athletic, contact has been made with Rabiot's representatives as his contract with Juventus is set to expire at the end of June.
Juventus are keen to keep Rabiot and have offered him a one-year extension due to his impressive performances this season, where he scored 11 goals and provided six assists. However, United Manager Erik ten Hag is keen to sign a new midfielder this summer and with a deal for Chelsea's Mason Mount stalling, Rabiot could be a viable alternative.
Back in 2008, Rabiot had a spell in Manchester City's academy and has previously spoken of his desire to play in the Premier League. He said, "It’s the league, it’s the level of play that’s going on, that’s what attracts me most. It corresponds to my qualities. I haven’t got a Premier League team in mind right now. I haven’t chosen a team or anything. It’s a general thing.”
The Red Devils are also looking to bring in a new striker and goalkeeper, however Financial Fair Play regulations are likely to restrict their spending this summer. As Rabiot would be a considerably cheaper alternative than some of their other transfer targets, he could be a viable option for Manchester United this summer.
