Man Utd Face Stiff Competition For Midfield Target As Chelsea Enters The Race

Chelsea are poised to rival fellow English club Manchester United for Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot, according to reports in Italy.

The 29-year-old ran down his contract in Turin and he his now a free agent just like last summer.

The Frenchman made 37 appearances for the Serie A side last season but struggled for form and was widely criticised by fans.

Manchester United were reported to be interested as Erik ten Hag looks to bolster his midfield as part of his midfield revamp.

The Red Devils ideally need to bring in a midfielder or two to replace Christian Eriksen, Scott McTominay with both close to making an exit this summer and the aging Casemiro, who has just 2-years left on his Man Utd contract.

But Chelsea have now joined the race for his signature, according to Tuttosport.

Blues new boss Maresca is said to be keen on the Frenchman to strengthen his midfield ahead of next season.

Adrien Rabiot’s preference will definitely play a big role on which English club lands him on a free transfer this summer.
