Manchester United's signing of new aid is imminent, reaching a preliminary agreement to sign Juventus midfielder Rabiot


After the Premier League Manchester United failed to pursue Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong in three months, Manchester United had to choose to give up and look for other midfield candidates in the transfer market. The 27-year-old midfielder of Serie A Juventus, Adrien Rabiot, is one of the candidates. It is understood that Manchester United is progressing smoothly in the transfer negotiations with Juventus and is expected to receive Rabiot’s services this summer.

He has played for the team in more than 150 games, scored 15 goals, and helped Paris Saint-Germain win 4 French Super Cups. And the French Cup champion, and 5 French League Cup and Ligue 1 champion.

Such a situation is on the radar of Manchester United, with midfielders Nemanja Matic, 34, and Paul Pogba, 29, set to leave Manchester United this summer, along with Scott McTominay and Fernando Fernando. Rederic Rodriguez Santos was disappointed in his Premier League opener against Brighton. Therefore, Manchester United manager Eric Ten Hag is imminent to bring in a new player to bolster the midfield lineup this summer, and has turned his attention to Rabiot.


Ten Hag believes the addition of Rabiot would be an effective addition to the midfield. Manchester United have reached an agreement with Juventus on Rabiot's transfer fee. It is reported that Manchester United is negotiating a contract with Rabiot. If there is no accident, the French midfielder will receive a four-year annual salary value of up to 7 million euros provided by Manchester United.


According to sources, the negotiations between the two sides are progressing smoothly at this stage, and Rabiot will also follow the trend of Manchester United signing 30-year-old midfielder Christian Eriksen and young defender Lisandro Martinez in the summer transfer window. And the fourth deal after Tyrrell Marasia, Ten Hag is expected to introduce a defender and a striker to strengthen the 2022-2023 season lineup.
