Juventus are now looking to keep Adrien Rabiot as he enters the last six months of his current contract.
The midfielder is a player who can make Juve perform at a higher level when they are playing and he did well for France at the World Cup.
Six months ago, Juve agreed to sell him to Manchester United, but the transfer fell through because he could not agree on personal terms with them.
Since then, he has improved remarkably and Max Allegri wants him to stay at the club, which means Juve will have to get him a new contract.
Reports have claimed that he will leave as a free agent, but Football Italia reveals that Juve are now making an effort to keep him.
The report says the Bianconeri have contacted his entourage to ask what it takes to keep him going and both sides will continue to talk.
Juve FC says
Rabiot has been a standout player this season and it will be great to keep him going beyond the current campaign.
He may have already decided to leave, but we should at least try to convince him to stay and hope that he agrees.
Signing a top-quality player as his replacement will probably cost more money than keeping him for more seasons.
