United smell their chance and comes back for a transfer-free midfielder
Erik ten Hag also hoped to add Rabiot to his selection last year, but was unable to do so. The France international’s demands were too much. This summer a new opportunity beckons. United has now expressed the renewed interest to Rabiot’s agent, who can also opt for a longer stay at Juventus.
Rabiot developed into one of the best players in Serie A in Turin and came in 32 league games last season. The midfielder was good for eight goals. Does it stop there? “I still have the desire to play in the Premier League,” Rabiot said recently. “The competition and the level attract me. I don’t have a club in mind yet.”
Caicedo and Mount
The Athletic know that United have also spoken to Moisés Caicedo’s representatives. The 21-year-old midfielder from Ecuador had a very strong season at Premier League surprise Brighton & Hove Albion and is said to have the clubs to choose. United also still hopes for the arrival of Mason Mount, who must be pried loose at Chelsea.
Irritation at Man Utd about Chelsea’s behaviour
Manchester United are not happy that the details of the negotiations with Chelsea are so easily leaked to the public. The clubs are discussing Mason Mount and it is now clear that three offers have been refused.
Mount is still a top priority for Man Utd, a final bid of around 64 million euros was made for the Englishman on Friday. The Manchester Evening News knows that Man Utd director John Murtough is not happy that Chelsea club management is passing a lot of information to journalist friends.
For example, it is already known that Man Utd opened the transfer game with a bid of approximately 47 million, raised the stakes with a second bid to almost 59 million and is now five million higher. The clubs seem to be approaching each other and an agreement to negotiate the transfer fee has now been made.
