According to TMW, Everton have held informal talks about signing Adrien Rabiot from Juventus in the summer transfer window.

It has been reported that Everton are interested in signing Rabiot from Italian giants Juventus in the summer transfer window.

The report in the Italian news outlet has claimed that there have been ‘informal contacts with Everton’, but it has not been disclosed whether they have been between the Toffees and the France international’s agent or with Juventus.

Good signing for Everton?

Rabiot has not had the best of times at Juventus this season, as the 25-year-old central midfielder has failed to establish himself as an indispensable part of the team.

However, the France international is a very good player who has worked with Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti at Paris Saint-Germain.

With the Toffees aiming to challenge for the Champions League places in the coming years, a player of Rabiot’s poise, finesse and winning mentality will make the Merseyside outfit a better team.

In June 2019, current Juve and former PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon Buffon told Bein Sports, as transcribed by Squawka.com, that Rabiot “has the strength of Pogba, who is built like a wardrobe, the courage of Vidal and potentially the dynamism of Marchisio”.
