It is said that Manchester United made a substantial offer to Rabiot, which would have made him one of the top earners at the club. Unfortunately, despite their efforts, they were unable to meet the player’s salary expectations.
Adrien Rabiot Enjoyed Impressive Campaign at Juventus
Rabiot has had previous experience in Manchester City’s youth academy and has also played for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). During his time in Italy, he had an exceptional season, scoring 11 goals in 44 games, marking his most productive campaign to date.
As Rabiot’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season, reports from RMC Sport suggest that Manchester United has made a preliminary offer to the 28-year-old midfielder.
This move is seen as part of Erik ten Hag’s plan to strengthen the team for the upcoming year.
Manchester United Transfer: Is Rabiot the final piece of the puzzle?
Manchester United has faced challenges with squad depth, leading to inconsistent results despite a promising first season under the management of Erik ten Hag. Last summer, John Murtough, the club’s football director, made significant efforts to secure the signing of Rabiot. However, the deal ultimately did not materialize.
As of now, Rabiot has not responded to Manchester United’s contract offer. In addition, Juventus, under the guidance of Max Allegri, has also presented a proposal to retain the midfielder’s services in Turin.
Veronique Rabiot, who is both Rabiot’s mother and agent, is renowned for being a tough negotiator. She is expected to engage in negotiations with the interested parties in the upcoming days.
What other players are on Man Utd’s radar?
According to reports, Manchester United is said to be interested in signing Manu Kone, a midfielder from Borussia Monchengladbach. Kone, a 21-year-old French player, initially emerged onto the scene with Toulouse before making a move to the German club in January 2021.
Since joining the Bundesliga, he has made a strong impression and even earned a spot in the French Under 21 national team. Currently under contract until June 2025, Kone has caught the attention of several elite European clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), who are also monitoring his progress.
