Adrien Rabiot transfer roundup: Liverpool step up pursuit of former Juventus ace after Manchester United interest ends
Adrien Rabiot has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, and that could happen this summer.
The French international left Juventus Earlier in the window after his contract with the Italian giants expired.
The Old Lady offered the 29-year-old a new contract, but he turned down the offer after deciding his future lay elsewhere.

Liverpool
Liverpool They are reportedly intensifying their manhunt for Rabiot.
Since leaving Juventus, he has been considering his options and previous reports claimed his side had contacted the Reds.
Now, the club is said to be closely monitoring his situation.
After Missing Martin ZubimendiThe club are considering the Frenchman as a possible addition to their midfield options.
After the departure of Thiago Alcantara and Wataru Endo is apparently not in Arne's SlotTop 11, another option needed.
Rabiot could be that option, but he turns 30 in April and does not represent the usual age profile Liverpool are looking for.
His high salary demands will also be a factor in determining whether the Reds make a move.
Manchester United

At one point, the Red Devils were considered the favourites to sign him, but his new free availability sparked more rumours.
But latest reports from France claim that they have now lost interest in the midfielder.
L'Equipe says Manchester United are no longer in the race for Rabiot after spending huge sums on Matthijs De LigtNoussair Mazraoui, Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee This summer.

Inter Milan
Staying in Italy is also an option for Rabiot this summer.
And he has been linked to both. AC Milan and Inter Milan throughout the transfer window.
Inter are the latest to be rumoured with an approach as they look to bolster their midfield with Serie A experience.

However, the Italians have yet to submit any offers and L'Equipe reports that they are in no rush to close a deal.
Bayern Munich

The German giants brought in the former Fulham The club's midfielder was brought in by player João Palhinha earlier this summer.
