‘Manchester United’ has agreed ‘in principle’ with Juventus to sign Adrien Rabiot.

The 27-year-old has become a surprise target for the Red Devils after failing to sign Barcelona star Frankie de Jong.

The French team is available as they are not popular in Turin and only have 12 months left on their contract with the Old Lady.

United have not given up hope of signing De Jong but are wary of ending their chances without a midfield addition.

The Manchester Evening News reports that a deal has been reached with Juventus for the former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder.

However, the player has yet to agree to personal terms regarding his transfer to Theater of Dreams, with reports claiming that his mother, a Rabiot agent, was the “block” in the deal. increase.

Rabiot fears this could be his last big deal, so he is expected to ask for a raise at Juventus to join United.

United have been chasing Rabiot for a long time and had hoped to complete a deal for the Frenchman in 2019 but failed to qualify for the Champions League.

His performances at Juventus improved last season, but Rabiot’s shares have fallen since then.

Rabiot’s mother, Veronique, is known for her fierce personality, and once ran into Laurent Blanc in the parking lot of the Paris Saint-Germain stadium, questioning her decision.
