Adrien Rabiot breaks silence and admits to transfer talks amid Man Utd links

Adrien Rabiot has confirmed he is in talks with Juventus as he prepares to finally resolve his future this summer.

The French midfielder refused to renew his Paris Saint-Germain deal last season leading to him being frozen out at the Parc des Princes.

Despite not playing a game in 2019, Rabiot has emerged as a Manchester United target as part of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's summer rebuild.

Recent rumours have also suggested he could be open to a shock u-turn to stay in the French capital, although such a change of heart appears unlikely.

He's now broken his silence on speculation surrounding his future and declared he is already holding talks with Serie A giants Juventus over a move to Italy - but hinted a Manchester United move could still interest him.

Whilst on holiday with his mother, who also acts as his agent, in Italy's Porto Ercole resort, he told Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport: “It's true, Juventus have looked for me. We are talking to each other.

"I like Italy so much. Being in this place is wonderful, you rest and you will regenerate. A demanding season awaits me.

"We are evaluating, we cannot say anything. I do not know yet.

"Juventus are a great club where every good player would want to go.

"Manchester United? It is the same. I have to decide, I'm on holiday for now "

According to Sportitalia, the Bianconeri has already made an approach for Rabiot.

They are set to name Maurizio Sarri as their new manager after agreeing a compensation fee with Chelsea .

They want to hand him another midfield boost with their second free transfer, following Aaron Ramsey to Turin.

Rabiot was a regular for PSG during their 2017/18 title-winning season before falling out of favour when he failed to commit his future.

He has since angered club bosses by liking an Instagram post by Patrice Evra celebrating Manchester United's win over his side in the Champions League and being spotted partying in the city after the defeat.

Rabiot has also been linked with Barcelona and Arsenal as his situation nears a long-awaited resolution after several months out in the cold.
