The future of Adrien Rabiot is in the dark, but recent developments suggest he is unlikely to continue his Juventus journey. And with Cristiano Giuntoli’s arrival expected sooner rather than later in Turin, replacing the Frenchman is of utmost priority for the Bianconeri.
Latest reports from Tuttosport (via Tuttomercatoweb) indicate finding a new central midfielder will be the foremost responsibility of Giuntoli. Rabiot, who has attracted Manchester United and Manchester City in the past, has so far alluded talks of potentially renewing his contract at Juventus.
Additionally, there have been no developments from the Bianconeri management in recent weeks, and with no chance of playing in Europe next season, it is unlikely Rabiot will continue at the club.
#ManchesterUnited have opened talks the mother-agent of Adrien #Rabiot to try to sign the french midfielder as a free agent. Reminder: #MUFC had reached an agreement with #Juventus for €20M last summer, the Madame Veronique rejected the bid. #transfers https://t.co/rg8TQ2NgUK

Three names have been identified to succeed the midfielder in the middle of the pitch; leading the pack is Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, who has had the gazing eye of Juventus on him ever since he signed for the Biancocelesti.
In recent days, Sassuolo starlet Davide Frattesi has made the headlines, with several Italian clubs, including Milan, Roma and Inter keen on signing him. However, Juventus have also emerged as a possible destination for the energetic midfielder.
Atalanta’s Teun Koopmeiners has also interested Juventus. However, Napoli and Liverpool are going strong in the transfer race as well. None other than Giuntoli suggested Koopmeiners to arrive in Campania and the sporting director’s presence in Turin could play a pivotal role in luring the Dutchman the other way.
