Liverpool transfer target Adrien Rabiot has revealed his fondness for the Reds after naming Steven Gerrard as his childhood idol.
Rabiot, 27, has entered the final three months of his contract with Italian giants Juventus, who're facing financial turmoil and look set to have to wave goodbye to the French midfielder this summer. That's prompted speculation surrounding Rabiot's future, with Liverpool claimed to have registered their interest in making him a part of Jurgen Klopp 's midfield rebuild.
The France international came close to joining Manchester United last summer, with football director John Murtough even flying out to Turin with the hope of sealing a move after reaching a £15million agreement with Juventus. United's transfer chief left empty-handed, though, as the player's extravagant wage demands through his notoriously difficult to deal with mother-agent Veronique were deemed too high.
