Arsenal have begun “initial talks” with Adrien Rabiot’s representatives in a bid to secure the Juventus midfielder as soon as possible, according to recent reports. With the France international’s current contract expiring at the end of June, his future in Turin remains the subject of speculation, with the Premier League said to be keen to secure his services on a free transfer this summer.
Manchester United and Newcastle United have joined the interest in Rabiot, but Arsenal have been linked with the player for some considerable time, holding talks with his agents over a possible move to the Emirates Stadium, according to HITC. Despite Juventus’ desire to retain him, the Italian club remains confident that Rabiot will sign new terms, although the final decision remains to be seen.
Rabiot, 28, started his career at Paris Saint-Germain before joining Juventus on a free transfer. Since then, he has been a prominent figure in Serie A, making 199 appearances for the Italian club and contributing 21 goals and 15 assists. Although he has been an important player for Juventus this season, his future at the club could be coming to an end.
Rabiot, Arteta’s wish
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is an avowed admirer of Rabiot and is eager to bring him to the Emirates Stadium for next season. Arteta is said to be looking for a player who can complement Declan Rice in midfield, and the Frenchman’s physical abilities make him an ideal candidate for the Premier League.
Despite speculation about his future, Rabiot continues to maintain the possibility of signing a new contract with Juventus as a priority, provided an agreement is reached on personal terms. However, with Arsenal and other Premier League clubs showing strong interest, the final destination of the talented French midfielder is yet to be decided.
