Adrien Rabiot, a French international, lost his Juventus contract last month, making him a free agent.
According to earlier reports, the adaptable central midfield player is looking for a contract worth £7.6 million annually and has received offers from multiple clubs.
Rabiot is reportedly in negotiations with Liverpool and Arsenal FC, according to recent revelations made by French journalist Romain Collet-Gaudin. Sadly for the Anfield team, the 29-year-old star is close to joining Arsenal and would prefer to sign with them.
Arsenal had already acquired Leny Yoro from Lille, making Liverpool lose a major defensive target. Rabiot, a proven quality midfield player, now wishes to join the 13-time English champions rather than the 19-time winners.
Top players find Arsenal too alluring to resist, even if they are not playing in the Champions League the following season.
Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee, who assisted Bologna and Lille in earning spots in Europe’s top competition, have chosen to join Arsenal despite their participation in the Europa League.
Rabiot is now eager to complete a transfer to Arsenal rather than Liverpool, who will participate in the Champions League the following season. Rabiot assisted Juventus in regaining their Champions League spot.
Mikel Arteta is having a successful transfer month in July. The addition of a decorated and seasoned player like Adrien Rabiot will undoubtedly strengthen Arsenal FC’s midfield after strengthening the team’s defense and attack already.
