According to a report by Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, Adrien Rabiot is attracting significant interest from Arsenal, with Liverpool and Manchester United also keen on signing the 29-year-old midfielder on a Bosman move this summer. However, Arsenal appears to be in the strongest position to secure the former Juventus star’s services on a free transfer.
Adrien Rabiot has had a distinguished career, although he has not always received the same level of acclaim as some of his contemporaries. The Frenchman has amassed 22 trophies over his career, but his time at Juventus was marked by the club’s struggles during one of their less successful periods in recent years. Rabiot made over 200 appearances for the Bianconeri, contributing 22 goals and 15 assists.
As a free agent after letting his contract with Juventus expire, Rabiot has attracted the attention of several high-profile clubs. Manchester United is reportedly working on a deal to bring the midfielder to Old Trafford, with the Red Devils seeking reinforcements in midfield due to uncertainties around the futures of Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, and Scott McTominay.
Liverpool’s interest in Rabiot also makes sense, as they continue their search for a midfielder to replace Thiago Alcantara, who has retired from professional football. Rabiot’s experience and versatility make him a fitting target for the Reds.
Arsenal is also keen on strengthening their midfield options before the transfer window closes, particularly with questions surrounding the long-term future of Thomas Partey. The Gunners are currently in a favorable position, with their ability to offer UEFA Champions League football potentially giving them an edge over Manchester United and Liverpool.
Despite Arsenal’s advantage, recent reports suggest that Rabiot had been waiting for Manchester United’s approach. It remains to be seen if the Red Devils can sway Rabiot’s decision or if Arsenal will secure the signing of the talented French midfielder.
