Manchester United and Newcastle United are reportedly both interested in a free transfer for Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot this summer.
The experienced Frenchman is nearing the end of his contract with Juve, so he could become a free agent in the coming weeks if he does not decide to renew the Serie A giants.
Rabiot's situation now seems to be attracting Man Utd and Newcastle, who are waiting to see what the 29-year-old will decide to do, according to Todo Fichajes.
Rabiot has had a great career in Europe, and it will be interesting to see what kind of impact he can have in the Premier League, where he is yet to test himself.
Rabiot transfer: Man United and Newcastle need midfield signings
Links with Rabiot of United and Newcastle make sense when you look at the different situations the clubs have in terms of midfield options at the moment.
MUFC desperately need an upgrade from the aging Casemiro, and Sofyan Amrabat has been poor since joining Fiorentina, meaning a permanent deal for the Morocco international is highly unlikely.
Newcastle, on the other hand, are currently suspended for Sandro Tonali, while the future of Bruno Guimaraes could be under scrutiny as the Brazilian midfielder continues to be linked with big names.
Fabrizio Romano has played down Guimaraes' future, but after such good form at St James' Park, it could be difficult for the Magpies to keep hold of him in the coming weeks.
Rabiot would therefore be a strong player in Eddie Howe's side, but it remains to be seen whether he would see Newcastle as a more tempting option than United, who remain one of the biggest names in world football history, even if they are now. a far cry from the power they had for years under Sir Alex Ferguson.
