Man United and Newcastle could soon make a move for a 29-year-old free agent

There are still links to a move for Adrien Rabiot this summer.

The 29-year-old French international is a free agent and clubs such as Manchester United and Newcastle United are interested in him. According to a report from Le Figaro via Sport Witness, the two clubs could soon make an offer for him.

Barcelona are also monitoring the situation, but they can’t afford him. The Spanish club is struggling with financial problems, which is why Manchester United and Newcastle have an advantage in the transfer race.

Signing the French international on a free transfer could be the ideal move, as he will add creativity, control and defensive cover to the side.
