Adrien Rabiot has rejected transfer offer from Liverpool, instead favouring a move to Manchester United, who are now leading the race for his signature.
Liverpool Transfer Target Rabiot Snubbed By Rivals
Liverpool attempted to secure Adrien Rabiot by offering him a contract, but the French midfielder rejected the offer in favour of a potential move to Manchester United.
Despite spending five successful years at Juventus, Rabiot became a free agent after his contract expired, attracting interest from several top clubs, including Liverpool, Man Utd, AC Milan, and Inter Milan.
Frenchman’s Interest
Rabiot’s representatives are seeking the best possible deal for him, and recent reports suggest that Manchester United have moved ahead of Liverpool in the pursuit.
Liverpool’s opening contract proposal was turned down by Rabiot, who has expressed a preference for joining Manchester United.
His admiration for the Premier League and desire to play at Old Trafford have influenced his decision.
Rivals In The Lead
Manchester United are now well-positioned to sign Rabiot, as his wage demands have become more manageable, falling within the club’s budget.
The free transfer would allow United to bolster their squad further without significantly impacting their transfer budget.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe is also pursuing other targets to strengthen the team’s midfield and defence, aiming to create a competitive squad for the upcoming season.
