Ten Hag excited as Man Utd move in for signing, player wants £166,000 a week to join
Adrien Rabiot's future at Juventus has been uncertain for some time, and it appears that he will be allowed to leave for free this summer.
The Bianconeri have been in contact with the player’s agent-mother, according to Calcio Mercato, but no extension agreement has been reached.
According to the Italian media outlet, Manchester United agreed on a cost of 22 million euros with the Serie A giants last year but were unable to sign him.
The Red Devils have stepped in again and made direct contact in order to grab his signature during the summer transfer window.
Last year, the agreement fell through because Rabiot’s mother demanded ten million euros in payments for his son (GdS).
This year’s demand has remained constant. According to Calcio Mercato, Veronique wants 10 million euros (£166,000 a week) to either stay with Juventus or join another club.
Newcastle, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool are also said to be interested in the 28-year-old, who has been in excellent form this season.
United signed Casemiro and Eriksen last year to improve the midfield, and the duo has been quite impressive this season.
However, they will reach 32 next year, and Manchester United requires a youthful and dynamic center-fielder. Last year, De Jong was our top target, but he chose to stay with Barcelona.
Share your thoughts on whether United should pay Adrien Rabiot £166,000 per week to eventually lure him to Old Trafford.
