Newcastle United to rival Manchester United for Adrien Rabiot?

Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Newcastle United.

Despite only moving to the Italian champions last summer, Rabiot is being linked with an exit later in 2020 as Juventus contemplate a bid for Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

In order to reduce costs, it has been suggested that the former Paris Saint-Germain man could be included in a part-exchange deal.

However, Calciomercato claims that Newcastle have already made contact with Juventus to ask about Rabiot's availability.

Should a Saudi Arabia-based consortium complete a takeover of the Magpies, the Premier League outfit will have the funds to make several high-profile additions during the next window.

Rabiot has endured a mixed first campaign in Turin, making just 16 starts and eight substitute outings in all competitions.
