Adrien Rabiot transfer saga takes fresh twist amid Man Utd and Liverpool rumours

Adrien Rabiot's future has again taken a fresh turn amid rumours over a potential move to the Premier League.

Rabiot, 29, left Juventus this summer after five years at the Italian giants and is still yet to find a new club.

Links with Newcastle United had circulated back in June but a move to St James' Park failed to come to fruition. He has also been linked with Manchester United and Liverpool, with the player available on a free transfer outside of the English transfer window.

It comes after the France international made five appearances at Euro 2024 this summer, taking his caps tally to 48 for his country.

Represented by his outspoken mother Veronique, talk of her son's future has again hit the headlines.

According to reports in Spain, Rabiot's mother is 'pushing' to broker a transfer to United on a free transfer.

It is not the first time the player has been linked with a transfer to Old Trafford, most notably back in 2022.

A five-time Ligue 1 winner, Rabiot would be a tidy addition given the Red Devils' midfield struggles so far this term.

Casemiro was lambasted for his performance against Liverpool prior to the recent international break so much so he was dragged off at half-time to be replaced by teenager Toby Collyer.

Having brought in former PSG star Manuel Ugarte, questions have also been asked as to where that leaves both Casemiro and England star Kobbie Mainoo.

One plus side for Manchester United is that no transfer fee would have to be agreed with Rabiot should they push forward with a move.

Having spent time at the top level in both France and Italy, Rabiot could be a quality addition - although questions have been raised over his attitude as well as his mother's reported confrontational reputation.

Agent Veronique has been outspoken about Manchester United in the past, insisting how talks in the past have failed to progress from the initial interest stage.

"All false," said his mother back in 2022.

"United wanted to meet me to illustrate their interest in Adrien, but we never talked about money in detail because he quickly decided to stay in Turin.

"There were never any real negotiations, and we are on excellent terms with Manchester United."
