ADRIEN RABIOT has arrived in Turin as he prepares to complete his move to Juventus.
The French international quit Paris Saint-Germain to sign for the Serie A champions as a free agent after rejecting interest from Manchester United.
The Red Devils are believed to have made the midfielder a lucrative offer to move to Old Trafford this summer.
But he is now on the verge of penning a £6.2million-a-year contract with Juve.
And Football Italia claim the 24-year-old will also pocket a bumper £9m signing-on fee.
Juventus posted a picture of the playmaker after he had touched down in Italy today.
Rabiot rose through the ranks at PSG to become an integral part of the squad despite the huge investment from the Qatari owners.
The French champions tried to convince him his future was at the Parc de Princes – but he was omitted from the first-team squad for refusing to sign a new deal.
Now he will link up in midfield with fellow new boy Aaron Ramsey who joins from Arsenal.
Rabiot’s mother recently revealed PSG had not made any other attempts to keep him since he was frozen out of the Thomas Tuchel’s squad.

Veronique Rabiot said: “There was no offer [from PSG] before, there isn’t one now and there won’t be one. There hasn’t been even a slight change.”
Rabiot will undergo his physical on Monday morning at the Italian giants’ J-Centre HQ.
His arrival is expected to be officially confirmed within the next 24 hours.
