Man United-linked Adrien Rabiot 'makes decision' on future amid Saudi interest

Manchester United-linked midfielder Adrien Rabiot is not interested in a move to the Saudi Pro League or Turkey, according to a report.

Adrien Rabiot is reportedly not interested in a move to the Saudi Pro League amid suggestions that a number of clubs in the division are keen on his signature.

The France international remains a free agent, having seen his Juventus contract expire at the end of June, and there is ongoing speculation surrounding his future.

Manchester United continue to be credited with an interest in Rabiot, although it is thought to be unlikely that the club will move for him unless a midfielder leaves, with Casemiro being linked with a switch to Turkey before their transfer deadline.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, there is huge Saudi Arabian interest in Rabiot, but the midfielder has made it clear that he wants to remain in Europe's top five leagues and would therefore also turn down a switch to Turkey.

Arsenal and Liverpool are also among the Premier League clubs believed to be interested in the 29-year-old, who made 35 appearances for Juventus during the 2023-24 campaign before leaving the Old Lady on a free transfer.

Rabiot 'not interested' in Saudi switch

Rabiot started his professional career with Paris Saint-Germain, making 227 appearances for the club in all competitions, scoring 24 goals and registering 14 assists in the process.

The midfielder won five Ligue 1 titles during his time in Paris, and he then arrived at Juventus on a free transfer in 2019.

Rabiot featured on 212 occasions for the Old Lady, scoring 22 goals and registering 15 assists in the process, winning four trophies in total, including the 2019-20 Serie A championship.

France boss Didier Deschamps has revealed that Rabiot will not be considered for the national team until he signs for a new club.

"Rabiot has a slightly embarrassing situation. He had 100% choice, his contract was expiring and he is wanted by several teams. But now he is without a team and does not train in a group. I hope he can quickly choose a club that can then bring him back to us," Deschamps told reporters at a press conference.

Should Man United move for Rabiot?

It is a surprise that Rabiot is still a free agent considering his age and quality, even if he is asking for huge wages.

Rabiot looks to be the perfect fit for the Premier League, and Man United are still light in central midfield despite the recent arrival of Manuel Ugarte.

Christian Eriksen is set to leave next year, while Casemiro is unlikely to be a part of the club's long-term plans, so a move for Rabiot makes a lot of sense.

There is interest from Man United, with the club coming close to signing him in the summer of 2022, and the 20-time English champions should not pass up on the chance to bring him to Old Trafford on a free transfer this year.
