HERE WE GO: Manchester United set to beat Liverpool to the signing of £50m superstar,player has agreed personal terms to join, Jersey number approved, Medical soon as Ten Hag set to announce His 3rd summer signing
Manchester United is on the verge of securing their third summer signing, beating Liverpool to the acquisition of a £50 million superstar. The French international midfielder Adrien Rabiot, whose contract with Juventus ended last month, is set to join the Red Devils after agreeing to personal terms. With his jersey number approved and a medical examination imminent, Erik ten Hag is poised to announce this significant addition to his squad.
Rabiot, a versatile central midfielder, became a free agent following the expiration of his contract with Juventus. Reports have suggested that Rabiot has been offered to several clubs, with his demands reportedly including a £7.6 million annual salary. French journalist Romain Collet-Gaudin recently disclosed that Rabiot is in negotiations with both Manchester United and Liverpool. However, it appears the 29-year-old prefers a move to Old Trafford and is close to finalizing the deal.
Liverpool has already experienced disappointment in the transfer market, losing key defensive target Leny Yoro to Manchester United. Now, it seems that another sought-after player, Rabiot, is also leaning towards joining the 20-time English champions over the 19-time champions. Despite Manchester United not securing Champions League football for the upcoming season, the club’s allure remains strong for top talents.
This trend is evident as other players like Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro, who helped their respective teams secure spots in Europe’s premier competition, have chosen to join Manchester United despite the club’s participation in the Europa League. Similarly, Rabiot, who played a crucial role in Juventus’ return to the Champions League, appears willing to join United instead of Liverpool, who will compete in the Champions League next season.
July has proven to be a productive month for Erik ten Hag in terms of strengthening his squad. With defensive and offensive reinforcements already secured, the addition of a decorated and experienced midfielder like Adrien Rabiot will further bolster Manchester United’s midfield. This move not only underscores United’s appeal but also highlights Ten Hag’s strategic vision for the upcoming season.
