Barcelona, Real Madrid and Arsenal among clubs in talks with Manchester United target's representatives: Reports
Barcelona, Real Madrid and Arsenal have reportedly joined the race to sign Manchester United target Adrien Rabiot this summer, as per CaughtOffside.
French midfielder Rabiot is currently a free agent and multiple top European clubs are aiming to get his signature. Erik ten Hag's Manchester United are looking to sign a midfielder who can partner alongside Kobbie Mainoo. Interestingly, the Red Devils think that Adrien Rabiot can be a perfect fit for the role.
Barcelona, who are currently going through financial struggles, are also interested in signing the Frenchman on a free transfer. The 29-year-old has also gained the interest of Real Madrid, who are reportedly looking for a successor to Toni Kroos.
Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta's Arsenal are keen to sign Rabiot as a long-term replacement for Jorginho. Apart from Jorginho, Thomas Partey is also expected to leave the Gunners this summer. As a result, Rabiot can become a crucial part of the Premier League side alongside Declan Rice.
Liverpool are also looking forward to signing a replacement for former Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago, who announced his retirement from professional football. Rabiot last played for Juventus, which he joined in July 2019 on a free transfer.
For the Seria A giants, he made 212 appearances across all competitions, bagging 22 goals and 15 assists. He was also a part of the French squad at the 2024 European Championships. He started five games for Les Bleus before they were eliminated 2-1 in the semifinals by eventual champions Spain.
Real Madrid sets €30 million price tag for 25-year-old star: Reports
Real Madrid are reportedly ready to sell Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin for a reported transfer fee of €30 million, as per MARCA. Lunin has entered the final year of his contract with Los Blancos and they won't be selling the goalkeeper for less than €30 million.
The 25-year-old enjoyed a decent campaign in the Spanish capital last season. He made 31 appearances for Real Madrid across all competitions, keeping 12 clean sheets. Los Blancos' first choice, Thibaut Courtois, had made his return from a knee injury and has already taken Lunin's place.
Additionally, Madrid are reportedly looking forward to signing Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga this summer. He joined the Santiago Bernabeu outfit last summer on a loan deal. Kepa made 20 appearances across competitions, keeping nine clean sheets.
Lunin could move to the Premier League before next season, as Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing the 25-year-old.
