Exclusive: Newcastle and Aston Villa the latest clubs to register interest in Rabiot
Adrien Rabiot left Juventus after five years and is now a free agent. To date, his main goal has been to maximise his next contract in terms of salary received, given that it will probably be his last big deal as a top player.
For this reason, he refused the renewal that Juventus offered; a three-year contract on the same wages.
Adrien Rabiot wants Premier League move
Clearly, that didn’t satisfy either him or his mother – who is also his agent.
According to CaughtOffside sources with knowledge of Rabiot’s plans, the 29-year-old is now looking for more economically advantageous proposals, and there are a number of clubs in the Premier League that remain interested in him.
With the potential exit of Casemiro in mind, Manchester United have put Rabiot among the preferred profiles to strengthen their midfield. Sources indicate that Erik ten Hag appreciates him a lot.
However, the Red Devils will face competition for the Frenchman’s services as Newcastle have included him on their list.
The reason for so doing is because it’s believed that there’s a good chance Bruno Guimaraes could leave before the start of the 2024/25 campaign.
Aston Villa are also interested, with Unai Emery asking for a new player with the specific set of skills that Rabiot possesses.Paris Saint-Germain have had contact with his mother to talk about his possible return, whilst Galatasaray have a concrete interest despite the player preferring a move to the English top-flight.
In the next few days Rabiot will make his final decision, and the saga will finally be over.
