Juventus eye major Adrien Rabiot contract U-turn amid Chelsea and Arsenal transfer interest

Juventus have sent their latest contract proposal to Adrien Rabiot in the hopes of fending off interest from Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United. The midfielder's contract in Italy expires in the summer of 2023 and Juve are pushing to keep him at the club beyond the expiration of his current deal.

A recent report from Calciomercato revealed that the Bianconeri are hoping it is not too late to agree fresh terms with Rabiot, but know that it will be 'almost impossible' to negotiate an extension that will see him remain at Juventus beyond 2023.

Rabiot has previously spoken of his desire to play and 'evolve' in the Premier League and United were close to agreeing a move for the 27-year-old, but his wage demands saw the Red Devils pull out of the deal. However, he could be set for a Premier League move a year on, with Chelsea and Arsenal also interested in acquiring his services.

Injuries to N'Golo Kante and Paul Pogba saw Rabiot lock down a spot in France's midfield for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar alongside Aurelien Tchouameni. The former Paris Saint-Germain star played an important role in getting his country to the final, but they ultimately came up short against Lionel Messi's Argentina.

Both London clubs are eyeing midfield options with Chelsea particularly in need of a rebuild in the position, while Arsenal are on the lookout for more depth in the centre of the park, however they may need to look elsewhere if Rabiot chooses to accept Juve's latest proposal.

Gazzetta dello Sport report that the Bianconeri have tabled a huge contract offer that could prompt Rabiot to stay in Turin. The proposal is thought to be worth an initial £6million per year which would be inflated by bonuses.
