After the departure of Paul Pogba to Juventus and Nemanja Matic to Roma on free transfers, the Red Devils are currently pursuing a first-team midfielder. The club identified Rabiot as a transfer target after the team’s 2-1 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion on August 7.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United have reached a €17 million agreement for Rabiot with the Bianconeri. To finalise personal terms, club director John Murtough is set to meet the player’s mother and agent Veronique in Turin in the coming days.
Speaking on the club’s in-house television channel, Macari voiced his opinion on the 27-year-old. He said (via Manchester Evening News):
He continued:
Rabiot, who is in the final year of his contract at the Juventus Stadium, registered two assists in 45 appearances last season. He has helped the Old Lady lift three trophies, including the 2019-20 Serie A title.
So far, Manchester United have roped in centre-back Lisandro Martinez from Ajax, left-back Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord, and attacking midfielder Christian Eriksen on a free transfer this summer.
