Man United’s £15m move for Adrien Rabiot ‘could COLLAPSE as the Juventus star’s agent mother demands the Red Devils cough up more than the £6m-a-year her son earns in Italy’
- Manchester United have agreed a £15million deal for midfielder Adrien Rabiot
- Juventus are happy to let the Frenchman leave as he is not in their plans
- But his salary demands could reportedly cause the move to fall apart
- Rabiot’s mother Veronique is leading the negotiations over her son’s contract
Salary demands from Adrien Rabiot and his mother, who is also his agent, could see Manchester United‘s move for the Juventus midfielder collapse.
The Red Devils have agreed a £15.2million transfer fee with Juve for Rabiot and the Serie A side are happy to let him leave.
However, according to Sportmediaset, negotiations over personal terms are proving to be a stumbling block in the move.
Manchester United have agreed a £15m deal for Adrien Rabiot, with Juventus happy to sell him
It is reported that Veronique Rabiot will have direct contact with United by Friday but she is asking for a salary higher than the £6million-a-year that her son is currently earning in Turin.
Juventus fans are excited by the possibility of Rabiot departing and hope that the deal can be concluded as soon as possible.
The 27-year-old is not in the club’s plans for the season, emphasised by the fact that they have handed youngster Nicolo Fagioli a new four-year contract.
But his mother and agent Veronique is asking for a salary of more than £6m-a-year for her son
Rabiot is said to have appreciated phone calls from Erik ten Hag, who has spoken highly of him
Rabiot’s patience is wearing thin and he no longer has the desire to continue in Turin. His contract expires in 2023 and a move to United would prevent Juve from losing him for free next summer.
According to ESPN, Rabiot has appreciated telephone calls from Erik ten Hag, who has spoken highly of him.
The Dutchman has pushed to sign Rabiot after United lost to Brighton in the first game of the Premier League season.
