The player in question is Adrien Rabiot of Juventus.
The French midfielder has been linked with Manchester United during the previous two transfer windows but no move came to pass.
Rabiot scored eight and assisted four in 32 Serie A outings last season but is set to become a free agent at the end of June.
However, the Turin-based outfit are still trying to convince him to sign a new contract, whilst Rabiot’s representative – his mother – met with Manchester United last month.
As per Fabrizio Romano: “We should know more about Adrien Rabiot’s future in a few days, but there’s still a chance he could stay at Juventus. Rabiot will be out of contract at the end of this month, but Juve are still trying to keep him, and a new deal has been discussed with the French midfielder,” Romano said.
“Still, it won’t be easy for them to compete with Premier League proposals. His mother/agent had contacts with Manchester United one month ago, they are informed on what Rabiot wants. Erik ten Hag has always been a big fan of Rabiot, and we know they looked at signing him last summer.
Rabiot would be a fairly cheap option to help increase the overall quality of Man United’s midfield.
Liverpool & Newcastle the only teams willing to meet asking price of midfielder
