Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United are determined to sign Adrien Rabiot on a free transfer, according to a report in the Italian media.
Newcastle United stance on Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot
CMW have reported that Newcastle want to sign Juventus midfielder Rabiot in the summer transfer window.
The France international midfielder is out of contract at Juve at the end of the season.
The report has claimed that the Magpies are willing to offer “frightening figures” to Rabiot, described as “a very complete player” who is “great both with and without the ball” by Barcelona head coach Xavi in Sportskeeda in 2017.
CMW, though, have not mentioned what those figures are.
Newcastle are looking likely to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season.

HITC Verdict: Exciting
In our view, Adrien Rabiot would be a very good and exciting signing for Newcastle United in the summer transfer window.
The Frenchman is one of the best midfielders around who is used to challenging for top honours and playing in the UEFA Champions League.
The former PSG star is also a regular for the France national football team.
And he is 28.
Rabiot is at the top of his game at the moment, and we believe that the midfielder would be able to make an immediate impact at Newcastle.
And he would be a free signing.
