TOP STORY: Newcastle take an interest in Rabiot as a big signing
Following their recent takeover, Calciomercato reports that Newcastle United are interested in a move for the Juventus midfielder Adrien rabiot.
The old lady is said to be willing to move on to the France international as she begins a team reshuffle in midfield, while the 26-year-old would prefer to move to the Premier League.
Juventus consider reshuffle of midfield ranks – AS Monaco Aurélien Tchouameni and that of Manchester United Donny van de Beek are considered options – but the Italian team must move some players before.
Newcastle are now linked with plenty of transfers due to the wealth of the club’s new owners, with UEFA Nations League winner Rabiot the latest to enter the conversation.
Juventus are said to be able to move him for minimal evaluation while losing very little as the player joined a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in 2019. He struggled in Serie A amid a mix of inconsistent performance and injuries.
A new club could also be the fresh start Rabiot needs to stay in the mix with Blues ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
