Juventus ‘ready to say goodbye’ to Adrien Rabiot with Newcastle interested in cut-price £10m transfer
NEWCASTLE UNITED have received a boost in their pursuit of Adrien Rabiot with Juventus ‘ready to say goodbye’ to the midfielder.
The 26-year-old France international moved to Turin from Paris Saint-Germain in 2019.
However, he has come under fire recently from supporters following his poor performance in last week’s Champions League clash with Villarreal.
That has not deterred Newcastle, who are eyeing up a summer swoop for Rabiot.
Now Calciomercato claims Juventus are ready to sell should they receive an ‘adequate’ offer.
They state that a transfer bid between £8.3million and £12.5m would be enough for them ‘say goodbye’ to the star.
It has been widely-reported that Newcastle ‘came forward’ in last month’s transfer window but he would not consider a switch at that time.
Rabiot arrived on a free transfer from PSG and remains under contract until 2023.

That means they could be forced to cash in this summer if he fails to agree to an extension.
But whether or not Newcastle return for him remains to be seen as they battle for Premier League survival.
And the report states that ‘still hangs in the balance’ much the same as Rabiot’s future in Turin.
