Manchester City “are interested in Adrien Rabiot”, but Juventus “will not sell”

Manchester City and have already expressed interest in Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot, according to the player’s agent.

The Premier League giants are believed to be interested in signing the 25-year-old during the summer transfer window.

However, Rabiot’s representative said it was unlikely that he would leave Juventus this summer after meeting with the Serie A team during the 2020-2021 campaign.

However, Rabiot’s agent said he is unlikely to leave Juventus this summer, despite being linked to Carlo Ancelotti (L) in the Toffees and Pep Guardiola (R) in City

Rabiot’s agent told the Italian newspaper Tuttosport: ‘The Frenchman is on Pep Guardiola’s goal list at Manchester City.

“But he will not be leaving Juventus.”

The Juventus midfielder was closely linked to the move to the Premier League last summer after a disappointing first campaign in Turin.

Carlo Ancelotti made several attempts in 2020 to join the 25-year-old French international – who made his first Paris Saint-Germain squad under the Italian in 2012 – but was unsuccessful on all occasions.

Rabiot would be open to a move to the English top flight last year, with Manchester United also linked to him in the past 12 months.

As a result, Premier League leader Manchester City has named Rabiot as a potential transfer target for the summer.

Pep Guardiola may want to sign Rabiot as a long-term replacement for City midfielder Fernandinho.

Rabiot made 28 Serie A appearances last season and has been a regular presence on the Juventus team this season – having made 32 appearances in all competitions.

Rabiot has also made an impact on the international scene, with 11 games for the French team so far.

However, the 25-year-old missed the opportunity to represent France at the 2018 World Cup.
