Juventus £148,000-a-week star midfielder ‘Waiting’ for Man United Contract Offer

Adrien Rabiot is waiting for Manchester United to make a move because his contract with Juventus is about to expire. Even after discussions with Juventus, Rabiot’s future is still unknown.

Rabiot is the kind of free transfer that United might use to bolster their midfield depth.

Adrien Rabiot, who has been at Juventus for the previous five years, has been frequently linked to Manchester United in recent seasons, but nothing has materialized as of yet.

Though Tuttosport claims that the Frenchman is waiting for the Red Devils to make a move, the Frenchman’s contract is set to expire in a few weeks, and it looks like he is getting closer to leaving Turin.

Rabiot has been one of Juventus’ most consistent players over the course of the season just gone, racking up over 30 appearances for the Bianconeri in all competitions alongside winning the Coppa Italia last season.

But his future is still to be decided with a new contract on the cards, and Tuttosport have claimed that he will be waiting for United to make a move before deciding on his future.

The report states that whilst Rabiot has previously called new manager Thiago Motta ‘a super coach’ and an ‘exceptional choice’ for the dugout after playing with him at Paris Saint-Germain, Rabiot does not believe that the arrival of the young manager will determine his future in Turin.

The Frenchman – who earns £148,000-a-week according to Salary Sport – reportedly believes that Motta has his own career to pursue, with Rabiot having his own too; and despite contacts between sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli and his agent continuing until the start of EURO 2024, there was an optimism at Juventus that he would renew.

Those talks have stopped due to his involvement with the French national team, and whilst Juventus aren’t in a hurry at this very second, there is an urgent need to know whether he will sign on at the Allianz Stadium with his contract up in nine days’ time.

But the report further states that Rabiot has not decided on his future yet, leaving all of the doors open to an exit – and with that, it is thought that he is waiting for United to swoop in and take him off of Juventus’ hands having already been linked with the Red Devils for the past two summer transfer windows.
