Manchester United’s efforts to sign Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot have reportedly stalled amid negotiations over his salary.
United have agreed an initial £15million fee, which could rise with add-ons, with Juve for the 27-year-old France international. The club are now in negotiations with Rabiot’s mother, Veronique, who acts as his agent, to sort out his personal terms.
While initial dealings with Juventus were straightforward, due to the Italian club’s eagerness to get a transfer fee for a player who is in the final year of his contract, personal terms are less easy to sort. Rabiot reportedly earns around €7m (£5.93m) per year with Juve, which equates to roughly £113,000 per week, but he has his eye on a pay rise in Manchester.
