France · Rabiot have reportedly rejected Juventus' final offer to renew his contract, so now he will be certain to leave and will be free to negotiate with other clubs, including Manchester United, Liverpool, Newcastle United in the Premier League and AC Milan and Napoli in Serie A, all rumoured to be interested in him.
The 29-year-old France international's contract expired last summer, but he signed a short-term one-year contract extension that Juve hope he can sign again this year. However, the "Old Lady" offered a salary of €7 million for the season, plus a bonus of €1 million, which was not accepted by Rabiot.
After Euro 2024, Rabiot has now officially refused to renew his contract after a period of deliberation and is expected to officially announce his departure on Thursday. After bidding farewell to Juventus, Rabiot is now ready to start talks with several other clubs that have shown interest.
It is believed that his mum Veronica wants to earn her son an annual salary of 9 million euros, which is difficult to achieve in Serie A, but perhaps easier to achieve in the Premier League. Manchester United offered similar treatment to 18-year-old France centre-back Yoro this week, although the club may not be willing to accommodate Rabiot's request because he is 10 years older.
Rabiot, who came through the Paris Saint-Germain academy, joined Juventus as a free agent in the summer of 2019 and played 212 games, scoring 22 goals and providing 15 assists, winning one Serie A title, two Italy Cups and one Italy Super Cup.
One of United's midfield targets in the summer window is from Paris, with 23-year-old Uruguay midfielder Ugarte being the most rumored option in recent times. However, his €60 million price tag is too high and United will only be able to buy it if they sell Casemiro. Otherwise, the Red Devils were revealed to be considering a loan, and it is said that a new offer will be made in the next few days, and the price gap between the two sides is said to be only 5 million.
Italy transfer experts Fabrizio · Romano have pointed out that Paris need to sell Ugarte in order to complete the deal to sign Joao Neves from Benfica·. The 19-year-old Portugal international had agreed to join Paris a few weeks ago. Paris Saint-Germain giants Luis · Campos are mainly signing Neves, and coaches Luiz · Enrique have also agreed. Negotiations between Grand Paris and Benfica continue, but no agreement has been reached.
According to the British media, Manchester United are also interested in Crystal Palace's England international Adam · Wharton, however, the young player, who only joined Crystal Palace at the beginning of this year, is more likely to remain at Crystal Palace. After the team sold Olise for 60 million euros, there was no pressure to sell at all, unless the extremely high price could tempt him to sell the 20-year-old Walton.
Manchester United's guaranteed option is to sign Sofjan · Amrabat, who was on loan from Fiorentina last season, with a buyout clause of €25 million. The 27-year-old Morocco has yet to participate in the pre-season training camp for Purple Lily this summer and is keen to complete the transfer. It is said that United's buyout clause will last expire this week and will be void if it is not used until July 21.
However, Manchester United consider Amrabat to be a €10 million loan for a year before buying him for another €25 million, for a total of €35 million. As a result, it is likely that the club will waive the use of this clause.
