Chelsea are reportedly among the clubs interested in signing Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot.
Adrien Rabiot, who earns £149,000-a-week (Salary Sport), will be out of contract with Juventus this summer.
The 27-year-old midfielder is heading for the exit doors unless he signs a new contract extension in Turin.
Rabiot admitted last year that he would like to play in the Premier League in the future, so will that come as early as next season?
Journalist Graeme Bailey has delivered an update on Rabiot’s future.
Apparently, the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham and Newcastle United are in the mix for the very popular Juventus star.
His future remains very much up in the air at this moment, though.
“Adrien Rabiot’s situation is fascinating, he is a very interesting option for a lot of clubs,” Graeme Bailey told TEAMtalk.
“Manchester United went for him in January and they remain firmly in the mix, as do Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, Newcastle – if he does indeed have the desire to move, he will not be short of interest.
“But that is one of the main issues here, all the interested parties in England are not 100% convinced that he wants to leave Italy or at the very least that he wants to play in the Premier League.
“Staying at Juventus is a realistic option, but he could be one of the best Bosman frees this summer.”
Rabiot can be such an eye-catching footballer to watch with his technical qualities and cultured left foot.
Could the France international shine in a physical Premier League division, though?
It makes sense for so many top clubs in England to be eyeing him when there’s the possibility he could go on a free transfer. However, we’re not convinced he’s the right man for Graham Potter’s Chelsea next season.
