French newspaper L’Equipe claim Adrien Rabiot has told Juventus that he wants to leave the club this summer – and Chelsea, Manchester United and Newcastle want to sign the France midfielder.

Rabiot, 27, was a crucial part of Max Allegri’s Juventus side last season – playing 45 times in all competitions. In three years, he has clocked up 129 appearances for the Old Lady, but he is about to enter the last year of his contract.

Reports have previously said that Juventus are ‘willing to listen to offers’ for a player with seven league titles to his name – six with PSG, one with Juve. Now, Rabiot’s stance has been made clear – he wants to go.

Rabiot has made it clear to Juventus that he is looking to secure an exit this summer. The report states that Juve want a fee of just £13million, with Premier League trio Newcastle, Chelsea and Manchester United all keen.

Rabiot has told Juventus he wants to leave – which club is best move?

Money or Europe? That is the main question for Rabiot. Would he prefer to go to Newcastle, earn huge wages and start every week, or would he prefer to go to Chelsea and be in the Champions League?

The best medium might be Manchester United. He will still earn plenty of cash at Old Trafford. He would start every week given United’s need for a midfielder, which is something he might not have the luxury of at Chelsea.

But he would still get European football – albeit the Europa League. Rabiot’s best move is United this summer, but Newcastle and Chelsea will also present very attractive propositions in different ways.
