Newcastle United and Manchester United are locked in a competition to acquire the services of Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot during the upcoming January transfer window. Newcastle United has been consistently showing interest in securing Rabiot’s talents as part of their strategy to bolster their presence in European football, as reported by Calciomercato.
Despite a tumultuous summer that cast doubts on Rabiot’s future at Juventus, he has undergone a remarkable resurgence under the guidance of Max Allegri, solidifying his role as a crucial player for the Italian club. Although Newcastle was among the suitors during the summer transfer window, Rabiot ultimately chose to stay with Juventus, renewing his contract and revitalizing his career in the process. Nevertheless, interest in the talented Frenchman remains strong, with several clubs, including Newcastle, still considering him an appealing prospect. Currently, it appears that Manchester United holds the advantage in the race to secure his services.
Taking a broader view of the situation, both Juventus and Rabiot seem content with their renewed partnership this season, reducing the likelihood of a potential separation. Juventus is eager to extend Rabiot’s contract to deter Premier League clubs’ persistent interest. As the January transfer window approaches, the battle for Rabiot’s signature will undoubtedly intensify, with both Newcastle United and Manchester United actively pursuing his services.
