Manchester United could make a new move for Adrien Rabiot in June if he leaves Juventus on a free transfer.
The Frenchman’s contract expires at the end of the season and he could be about to look for a new club in January.
Man United maintained strong interest in the summer and a move to the Premier League seemed likely.
However, negotiations reportedly broke down due to salary demands from his mother/agent Veronique and the club signed Casemiro, meaning there was less need for another midfielder to join the club.
Next summer, Erik ten Hag could look to bolster his options in the middle of the park.
The Frenkie de Jong saga is expected to continue throughout the year as the manager has made it clear that he still wants the Dutchman at the club.
But when considering other options, it is possible that in the summer Rabiot will join the club for nothing in terms of transfer fees and could be a suitable alternative if Ten Hag wants to complete his midfield revamp.
A move to the Premier League is intriguing for Rabiot, who will assess his options at the end of the season.
TuttoSport.com reports that Juventus manager Allegri would never give up on Rabiot even though his future is in limbo.
The manager doesn’t want to part with the midfielder any time soon, especially in the January transfer window as the club struggles in the league.
A deal at Juventus has yet to be ruled out by either party, but the outlet reports that despite Allegri wanting to keep the player, for financial reasons the Serie A club will not close the doors if an offer arrives in January.
Any potential exit next month would have to be for a substantial fee, so if United return for a second bite of the icing, it will almost certainly happen in the summer.
United’s focus in January is finding a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, who left the club on bad terms last month.
