Transfer: Ten Hag ready to sign Juventus midfielder

Manchester United are in talks to sign Adrien Rabiot from Juventus this summer, according to The Athletic.

The 28-year-old’s current contract with the Serie A side expires at the end of June.

United manager, Erik ten Hag wanted to sign Rabiot last summer, but the player’s high wage demand saw the move fall through.

But Ten Hag is considering him again as a midfield option and contact has been made with his representatives.

Strengthening midfield is a priority for Ten Hag this summer.

United have tabled a take-it-or-leave-it £55million third offer for Chelsea’s Mason Mount and have turned attention to Brighton’s £80m-rated Moises Caicedo.
