Rabiot to Manchester United
real Madrid They have reportedly been given the chance to sign him, but have decided not to make a move for him.
Arsenal They are also in the race, but given that they are close to securing a deal for Real Sociedad star Mikel Merino, it is unlikely they will go for Rabiot as well.
Atletico Madrid have also been offered to sign the player and are reportedly interested in him, but do not have the financial muscle to beat Man Utd or Liverpool in this race.
The Red Devils have a long-term interest in the Frenchman, having tried to sign him a couple of years ago but the deal fell through and it now remains to be seen whether they can secure his signature this time around.
Liverpool are also said to be looking to sign a new midfielder this summer and have been linked with a few names of late, including Rabiot.
The 29-year-old is an experienced player and could be a smart acquisition for Liverpool or Man Utd if either club signs him.
