Manchester United have been heavily linked with Adrien Rabiot on several occasions and Erik ten Hag was pursuing a potential transfer for the Juventus star prior to signing Casemiro
Adrien Rabiot is set for fresh talks to extend his Juventus contract again after a potential move to Manchester United was scuppered by his mum’s demands.
The French international was outlined by Erik ten Hag as a target previously, with United’s director of football John Murtough flying out to Turin in June to discuss a deal. But Rabiot’s agent Veronique, who is his mother, reportedly asked for a three-year deal worth £8.6million per season for her son.
She also wanted a sizeable fee for her role in the transfer and instead the 28-year-old signed a new one-year deal with Juventus, who he joined from PSG in 2019. And having made a strong start to the current campaign in Italy, Juve are now keen to tie the midfielder down long-term.
According to Tuttosport, he is set to be offered a new three-year contract extension, running until the summer of 2027. Talks between Juventus’ board of directors and the Rabiot family are scheduled for November.
