LIVERPOOL ARE CONTEMPLATING SIGNING ADRIEN RABIOT ON A FREE TRANSFER FOLLOWING HIS DEPARTURE FROM JUVENTUS, A PLAYER WHO HAS BEEN A LONG-TERM TARGET FOR MANCHESTER UNITED
Liverpool are targeting a significant midfield reinforcement by attempting to outmaneuver Manchester United in their bid for Adrien Rabiot, a player they've been eyeing for a while.
Newly appointed manager Arne Slot, who joined Liverpool this summer, has yet to make any new signings, but this could soon change. The Mirror reports that Liverpool may sign Rabiot on a free transfer. Manchester United, a key rival to Liverpool, has long shown interest in the former Juventus midfielder. With Rabiot’s contract expiring this summer, he is currently a free agent and available for a new club. Having joined Juventus in 2019, Rabiot has been a steady and reliable presence in their midfield, and his addition could be crucial for Liverpool, especially given the thinning of their midfield following Thiago Alcântara’s retirement.
Rabiot has a history of moving on free transfers, with his previous switch from PSG to Juventus in 2019 being one such instance. During his time in Italy, he established himself as a versatile and effective midfielder, contributing significantly with 13 goals over the last two Serie A seasons. His potential move to Liverpool aligns with the club's shift towards a more possession-based style of play, which contrasts with Jurgen Klopp’s previous approach that emphasized high-intensity pressing. Rabiot’s presence could facilitate the adaptation to this new style and also push the performance levels of existing midfielders like Curtis Jones and Alexis Mac Allister, helping Liverpool achieve a more refined and controlled game strategy.
