Manchester United will reportedly be at the front of the queue if Adrien Rabiot decides not to renew his contract with Juventus. The Frenchman is only under contract until the end of the season, and fears are growing in Turin that the Bianconeri could lose one of their star players without receiving a penny.<\/p>\n
Rabiot’s contract situation means that he will be at liberty to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with an overseas club in January. Juve therefore have no time to rest on their laurels, with the 28-year-old in high demand after making a sharp start to the season.<\/p>\n
The Turin giants have spent the past 18 months trying to keep hold of Rabiot. United sporting director John Murtough held in-person transfer talks in the summer of 2022 over a move that never materialised, and the midfielder left Juve sweating before eventually signing a one-year extension back in June.<\/p>\n
However, the short-term agreement means that the Italian side remain in a constant state of alert while top clubs circle. Transfermarkt value Rabiot at \u00a335million, but he could move for free unless Juventus act quickly.<\/p>\n

Newcastle United and Atletico Madrid are also named, but their interest is not believed to be as advanced as the Red Devils’.<\/p>\n Rabiot came through at Paris Saint-Germain, but his career has gone to another level since landing in Serie A four years ago. The French international put together by far and away his best-ever goal scoring campaign in 2022\/23, notching 11 in all competitions.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
