Juventus are working on a new long-term contract for French midfielder Adrien Rabiot after convincing him to stay in Turin during the summer.
Manchester United attempted to bring Rabiot to the Premier League during the transfer window but were turned away by the midfielder who decided to extend his time at Juventus.
The 28-year-old agreed a one-year deal with the Serie A giants and is now expected to sign-off on a fresh deal with Juventus in a complete U-turn after previously signalling his interest in leaving the club, as reported by Tuttosport.
A contract negotiating meeting between Juventus’ board of directors and Rabiot’s representative and mother, Veronique, are planned for November.
United chief John Murtough previously flew out to Turin to meet her in a bid to lure Rabiot to Old Trafford that ultimately proved unsuccessful.
The player’s mother acts as his agent and holds the key to any new contract who has won titles with Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus.
Juventus are aiming to tie Rabiot down to a three-year contract that would run until 2027 in a bid to reward the French international who has endured a strong start to the new season.
