Newcastle United 'to make cut-price bid for Adrien Rabiot'

Newcastle United are reportedly monitoring any developments with the future of Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot.

Having moved to Turin on a free transfer in 2019, Rabiot has made a total of 85 starts and 28 substitute appearances in all competitions.

However, the France international has not always convinced during his stint in Italy, particularly at times this campaign with his performance against Villarreal earlier this week coming in for criticism.

According to Calciomercato, Newcastle are ready to pounce if Juventus are willing to cash in on the 26-year-old in the summer.

Rabiot's contract is due to expire in 2023, and it is suggested that the Serie A outfit could look to make a profit on the player later this year if they receive a suitable bid.

The report claims that Newcastle are willing to spend as much as €15m (£12.5m) on the player, providing that they remain in the Premier League.
