Newcastle United have now made their first move to sign Juventus and France midfielder Adrien Rabiot on a free transfer.
The magpies have been keen on Adrien Rabiot for a while and now the 28-year-old is about to become a free agent, Newcastle have already made their move.
That is according to reports in Italy. Corriere dello Sport (via Sport Witness) has claimed that Newcastle have already offered Rabiot a contract worth over £4million a year to move to Tyneside.
Rabiot could be tempted by Newcastle to play CL football
However, that’s reportedly nearly £2million-a-year less than what he’s currently on at Juventus.
One thing that could sway things in Newcastle’s favour is that they, unlike Juventus, will be playing in the Champions League next season which is a competition Rabiot will want to be playing in.
