Rabiot to Manchester United? Juventus’ best player is out of contract and can leave for free
Adrien Rabiot was close to joining Manchester United last year, but ended up staying at Juventus. This time, however, everything looks very promising as the English club could get him for free. But so will other teams, so it will probably depend on who offers the French midfielder the best conditions.
Adrien Rabiot was close to joining Manchester United last year, but ended up staying at Juventus. This time, however, everything looks very promising as the English club could get him for free. But so will other teams, so it will probably depend on who offers the French midfielder the best conditions.
Rabiot and Manchester United, this was a saga that was dealt with for so long, until finally Casemiro, who can clearly be described as one of the best transfers of recent years, headed to Old Trafford.
The French international has subsequently had a relatively successful season, but one that was marred by the circumstances surrounding the club. However, with the French national team, he reached the final, where Argentina were above their strengths and decided the winner only on penalties.
Rabiot ended up playing 48 games for Juventus last season, during which he scored eleven goals and assisted six others. He was then voted the Turin club’s best player of the season by Whoscored.
This naturally piqued the interest of other big clubs, led by Manchester United, who, according to The Athletic, after unsuccessful negotiations with Chelsea regarding the transfer of Mason Mount to Old Trafford, have once again contacted Juventus to see if there is a possibility of acquiring the key player Massimiliano Allegri, who has just rejected a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia.
Immediately afterwards, it was leaked in the English media that the Red Devils had turned their eyes on Brighton’s Moisés Caicedo, who is also of great interest among other big clubs, led by Chelsea.
However, the fact that the Manchester club’s management is interested in the 28-year-old Frenchman suggests that this deal is not going well either, as Brighton reportedly want £80 million for the Ecuadorian midfielder.
Rabiot would undoubtedly be a great signing for Manchester United. After protracted morale problems, he seems to have definitely matured, which is evident on the pitch where he is putting in great and most importantly steady performances, something that was not commonplace before. There is no doubt about his talent.
In addition, the French midfielder is coming to the end of his contract at Juventus, so he will be available for free at the beginning of next month, which is a huge bonus. “I always said I would love to play in England.”
