Transfer News: Manchester United are ‘serious’ about Adrien Rabiot
According to transfer news from Corriere Dello Sport via Sport Witness, Manchester United have taken a solid interest in signing Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot.
Despite his poor performances at Juventus, Rabiot is highly regarded by numerous clubs around Europe. The 27-year-old is a central midfielder by profession and is recognised for his tenacity and aggressiveness in the heart of the pitch. He’s versatile enough to play in a variety of positions, making him a well-rounded midfielder.
However, At the Allianz Stadium, the 27-year-old appears to be surplus to requirements. Juventus are eager to offload the Frenchman before he becomes a free agent next year in order to avoid losing him for free.
The Juventus midfielder faces an unclear future at Juventus, with the Italian club looking to recuperate a sum of roughly €15-20m for his services. Several teams, including Manchester United, have been put on high alert as a result of it.
Rabiot’s status is also being monitored by Newcastle United and Chelsea and both are ‘thinking about’ making a move. PSG are also interested. Manchester United, on the other hand, are ‘serious’ about recruiting the Frenchman ahead of the upcoming season.
Rabiot has played in over 350 matches for Juventus and PSG, giving him a wealth of experience at the top level of the game. It makes him an intriguing target for Manchester United, who are in urgent need of midfield reinforcements.
The Red Devils had to contend with the exits of Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic this summer, with the latter joining AS Roma and reuniting with Jose Mourinho. There are also concerns about the calibre of their present roster, which includes Scott McTominay and Fred.
It has highlighted the necessity for a new central midfielder who can give Manchester United’s second line of defence some freshness and solidity. Rabiot fits the description nicely, as he is a seasoned player who brings experience, aggressiveness, and the winning attitude that Manchester United requires under Erik ten Hag.

Given what Rabiot brings to the table, a sum of under €15million may be considered a steal. With pre-season barely around the corner and no new reinforcement yet, time is of the essence for United. The board should do their bit in acquiring such a crucial player who could give the team the required depth and quality.
