A fresh insight into the future of Manchester United-linked Juventus star Adrien Rabiot has been provided on Thursday evening.
The subject of midfielder Rabiot’s plans has long taken its place centre stage in the transfer headlines across Europe.
This comes as the French international’s terms with Serie A heavyweights Juventus continue to inch towards conclusion.
Juve, for their part, are understood to be keen to tie Rabiot down to a new deal, but reports in Italy have long pointed towards the 28-year-old eyeing a new challenge.
One club keen to take advantage of Rabiot’s potentially imminent availability, meanwhile, come in the form of Manchester United.
The Red Devils, amid an ongoing search for reinforcements in the middle of the park, are widely understood to have identified the one-time Paris Saint-Germain standout as an ideal addition.
The info comes courtesy of transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who, significantly, has confirmed that negotiations between Juventus and Rabiot over a new deal have come to a standstill.
In turn, it is reiterated that Man United ‘appreciate’ the Frenchman, with boss Erik ten Hag having attempted to bring him to Old Trafford last summer.
As things stand, though, nothing has been agreed, with the race for Rabiot’s signature therefore remaining ‘open’.
