NOW WE DO: The star player who was the greatest player at the just concluded Euro 2024 has signed to a five-year contract with Manchester United, with a medical date already set.
The manager of Manchester United, Erik ten Hag, is keen to add a new midfield player this summer and has suggested Adrien Rabiot, a former Juventus player, as a possible candidate.
Rabiot recently participated in the Euros 2024 for France while on international duty, lending a crucial contribution to Didier Deschamps’ squad. The former Juventus player started each and every game, with the exception of the match against Portugal, which he missed due to suspension.
The 29-year-old’s contract with the colossal Italian team expired last month, and with Juventus now focusing on a new endeavour under Thiago Motta, it remains uncertain what the Frenchman’s future holds. The player has an offer to remain in Turin, according to HITC.
The player, who has drawn interest from the SPL, has made himself available to Premier League powerhouses Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United in order to pursue his career in Europe, according to the source.
According to the Italian newspaper Calciomercato, Rabiot would be persuaded by a contract worth about €9 million net, or about £145,000 each week.
Rabiot is a flexible midfield player who can play as a #8 if necessary or as part of a double pivot. He has occasionally relieved out for France at left back. How last season Man Utd would have killed for this luxury!
Rabiot has certain drawbacks. Even while he may not be the most talented player on the pitch, his football IQ and comprehension of the rules ensure that he hides his weaknesses and highlights his talents. The Frenchman, a physically gifted box-to-box midfielder, would be a better player than Scott McTominay.
Manchester United may lose Casemiro this summer, leaving the team shorthanded in an already thin midfield.
It makes sense to add a player with Rabiot’s experience on a free transfer at a fair pay, given the department is in need of a shake-up. He can become a vital member of Erik ten Hag’s midfield in the upcoming seasons and would fit right in.
