Adrien Rabiot, a midfielder for Juventus, is up for grabs in the January transfer window between Newcastle United and Manchester United.
Adrien Rabiot is having a successful season, and Newcastle is interested in him.
Rabiot is also being pursued by Manchester United
WHAT OCCURED? According to Calciomercato, Newcastle United is still interested in signing the Juventus midfielder as part of their ambitions to increase their influence in European soccer.
Rabiot’s future at Juventus appeared questionable during a tumultuous summer, but under Max Allegri, he has since enjoyed a comeback, reaffirming his status as an important player for the Italian team. Newcastle was one of the interested teams during the summer transfer window, but in the end Rabiot chose to stay with Juventus, renewing his contract and reviving his career. The Frenchman is still attracting interest from a number of teams, including Newcastle, and that interest hasn’t diminished. However, Manchester United is now in the lead in the competition to hire him.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: This season’s rekindled cooperation between Juventus and Rabiot appears to be working out well for all parties, decreasing the likelihood that it will end. In order to quell the persistent interest from the Premier League, Juventus is eager to extend Rabiot’s contract.
THEN WHAT? The competition between the Red Devils and the Magpies for Rabiot’s services will heat up during the upcoming January transfer window.
