Adrien Rabiot agent opens up on relationship with Man United amid free transfer chance

Adrien Rabiot's mother, Veronique, has said they are on "excellent terms" with Manchester United amid speculation that the former Juventus midfielder is on Erik ten Hag's transfer radar.

Rabiot became a free agent in the summer after his contract in Turin expired. He has reportedly turned down moves to Saudi Arabia and Turkey in hope of earning another stint in Europe.

United are one of the teams who are thought to be tracking the midfielder. Despite the transfer window closing, they can still sign free agents and Rabiot is thought to be a considerable option.

Previously, a £15m transfer to Old Trafford collapsed after his wages were deemed a problem. The move, in Ten Hag's first summer in charge, hasn't impacted Rabiot's relationship with the club with Veronique explaining why the deal didn't go through.

"We are on excellent terms with Manchester United," Veronique revealed to La Gazzetta dello Sport amid supposed links with a move to Old Trafford.

Despite rumours during the first set of negotiations speculating on exorbitant commission demands by Rabiots mother-agent, she clarifies: "All false. United wanted to meet me to illustrate their interest in Adrien, but we never talked about money in detail because he quickly decided to stay in Turin.", reports the Mirror.

It’s currently unclear whether Rabiot will join a new club in the short-term future or wait until the January transfer window to reassess his options.
