Manchester United director John Murtough is in Turin this evening to negotiate personal terms for Adrien Rabiot after Juventus agreed a €17m plus bonuses fee.
The midfielder is in the final year of his contract with the Bianconeri and not part of coach Max Allegri’s plans, so was left out of their pre-season tour of the United States.
Juventus have already agreed a fee worth €17m plus add-ons to sell Rabiot to Manchester United.
Now the Premier League club must negotiate personal terms with Rabiot’s agent and mother, Veronique, a notoriously tough person to deal with when it comes to getting the best deal for her son.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Goal and others, Manchester United director Murtough arrived in Turin today, but the first real meeting will be tomorrow.
It is reported Rabiot expects a raise to move to Old Trafford, from the €7m per season he currently earns at Juventus.
The minimum demand is therefore €7.5m per season net.
