Although Rabiot did not secure a transfer during the summer window, he remains a target for several clubs.
Adrien Rabiot eyeing a Premier League move
At 29 years old, Rabiot is keen on making a move to the Premier League, despite offers from Turkish clubs and the Saudi Pro League.
His desire to play in England has given Manchester United a significant boost as they look to strengthen their midfield for the long and demanding season ahead.
Shift in transfer strategy by United
It looks like Manchester United’s new co-owners, INEOS, are considering signing Adrien Rabiot.

This move would mark a departure from the club’s usual strategy of acquiring younger players with room to develop.
Progress in discussions
According to renowned football journalist Jeremy Cross, talks between Manchester United and Adrien Rabiot are set to take place soon.
Cross reports that Rabiot has already rejected offers from Galatasaray and the Saudi Pro League as he hopes to move to Premier League, increasing the likelihood of him joining United.
Financial terms stalling negotiations
However, a report from Football Insider suggests the opposite – it says that negotiations with Rabiot have not been smooth.

His wage demands are proving to be a challenge, much like they were in 2022 when a similar transfer collapsed.
Back then, United had agreed on a transfer fee with Juventus, and John Murtough even traveled to Turin to finalize the deal, but the talks fell through due to Rabiot’s salary expectations.
Rabiot’s performance last season
Despite the ongoing negotiations, Rabiot’s ability on the field is well-documented.
Last season, he made 31 appearances for Juventus in Serie A, scoring five goals and providing three assists.
His consistent performances highlight his potential value as a solid midfield option for Erik ten Hag’s team.
Can United secure the deal?
With talks between the two parties now imminent, it remains to be seen whether Manchester United can meet Rabiot’s financial demands and secure his move to the Premier League.
