“Manchester United’s Pursuit of Rabiot Could Pave the Way for Galatasaray’s McTominay Move”

Manchester United’s Rabiot Transfer Could Benefit Galatasaray

Premier League giant Manchester United is preparing to strengthen their midfield by signing Adrien Rabiot from Juventus. This transfer could also benefit Galatasaray. Strengthening the midfield has become a top priority for Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag and the club’s new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. While Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain is their primary target, Rabiot has emerged as an attractive opportunity for the Red Devils.

Rabiot’s Preference: Manchester United

According to French journalist Romain Collet-Gaudin, Rabiot is “closing in on Manchester United” and prefers Old Trafford over Liverpool. Talks between Rabiot’s representatives and both clubs are progressing well, with Manchester reportedly leading the race.

Liverpool Not Interested

However, The Daily Mail’s Lewis Steele and Fabrizio Romano claim that Liverpool is not seriously interested in the 29-year-old midfielder this summer. Despite being linked with AC Milan and Real Madrid, it appears that United is Rabiot’s only serious suitor.

Departure from Juventus

Rabiot’s departure from Juventus marks the end of a five-year stint with the Serie A giants. Joining from PSG in 2019, Rabiot made 212 appearances and helped Juventus win one Serie A title, two Coppa Italia titles, and one Supercoppa Italiana.

Opportunity for Galatasaray

Signing Rabiot on a free transfer would be a financially smart move for Manchester United. The club plans to offload Scott McTominay and Casemiro while strengthening their midfield with this addition. Galatasaray, known to be interested in McTominay, could benefit from Rabiot’s arrival, potentially paving the way for McTominay’s move to Turkey. Galatasaray aims to finalize their squad with another central defender after adding Leny Yoro.
