Manchester United have called off their move for Adrian Rabiot due to the midfielder’s wage demands. United agreed a £15million fee rising to £20m with Juventus for Rabiot but sources say the France international wanted an ‘obscene’ salary.
Rabiot’s mother, Veronique, negotiated on her son’s behalf and was always viewed as a stumbling block in discussions due to her fearsome reputation.
United football director John Murtough flew to Turin last week in an attempt to close a deal for Rabiot after United agreed a fee with Juve on August 6.
