Real Madrid to challenge Manchester United for Juventus midfielder

Real Madrid are keeping tabs on Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot, as reported by Football Italia citing Diario AS.

The royal club are keeping an eye on Rabiot as an opportunity to strengthen for free, especially if Dani Ceballos leaves.

The French midfielder's contract with Juventus expires on June 30, and he is still undecided about his future. If he doesn't sign a new deal by the end of the month, he will be granted free agent status.

It was previously reported that Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli plans to offer a new two-year contract to Rabiot and his agent mother Veronica after the European Championships. The Frenchman is allegedly ready to pay a salary of around €7.5 million per season.

Last season, the midfielder took part in 36 matches Bianconerri, in which marked 5 goals and 3 assists.

In the spring it was reported that Rabiot is attracted to the English Premier League and its two clubs, namely Manchester United and Newcastle, which will compete to invite the midfielder.
