Juventus are open to selling Adrien Rabiot to Manchester United, but according to Italian sports papers, negotiations between all three parties are still ongoing.
Rabiot has a year left in his contract with the Bianconeri and according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, he is unwilling to extend his stay in Turin.
He is one of the highest earners at the Allianz Stadium with a €7m-a-year salary, so the Serie A giants are open to selling him.
Despite reports of an agreement between the two clubs, all Italian sports papers maintain that the two clubs haven’t yet shaken hands over the player’s transfer fee. Juventus want circa €20, while the Red Devils have offered €15m.
However, it is believed that reaching an agreement won’t be too difficult for the two clubs, while the Premier League side may struggle to get the green light from Rabiot’s mum and agent Veronique.
Tuttosport, Gazzetta and Corriere dello Sport report that the Frenchman’s representative will soon talk to the Red Devils, but the request from the ex-PSG star is a salary in line with his current one in Turin.
As per Gazzetta, Max Allegri would prefer to keep the Frenchman in Turin as he’s seen as the natural replacement for Paul Pogba who will remain on the sidelines for at least three more weeks.
However, Juventus are determined to close the deal with the Red Devils and sign Leandro Paredes from PSG.
