Despite current contract negotiations with the Turin giants, 90min believes that Manchester United is still interested in signing Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot and that channels of contact over a potential transfer are open.
The 28-year-old has put in much improved performances for a Juventus team that is presently up to second in the table following three straight victories throughout the 2022–23 Serie A season, making him one of the league's top players.
After not scoring a single goal all of last season, Rabiot now has 11 goals in all competitions for La Vecchia Signora. He has also provided four assists, putting him in the running for a new contract when his current one expires at the end of June.
The extension of Rabiot's stay at the Allianz Stadium is currently being discussed with his representatives, and manager Massimiliano Allegri is reportedly a major fan of the Frenchman. Notably, Rabiot is said to be content at Turin and to be having a good time at the club.
However, speculation over a prospective transfer away from the club has been fanned by the fact that negotiations with Rabiot's team have not yet resulted in an agreement.
In March, 90min reported that Manchester United, Liverpool, and Tottenham were keeping an eye on the issue with Rabiot, and they are still doing so, along with Arsenal.
The quartet, who include United manager Erik ten Hag, think that signing a player of Rabiot's caliber would be fantastic transfer business, and they are prepared to pounce if Juventus are unable to reach a new contract agreement.
Rabiot hinted at a move when he indicated he'd be interested in moving to the Premier League in December of last year, but more lately he's suggested he might end up staying at Juventus, the team he joined from Paris Saint-Germain in 2019.
Rabiot's prospects of making France's squad for the 2024 Euros could actually be negatively impacted by his decision to transfer to a different league, given the requirement to become used to the tempo and playing style of English football.
