Everton reportedly want Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot.
Everton’s reported quest to sign Adrien Rabiot has suffered a blow, with Juventus planning to include the central midfielder in a deal with Manchester United over Paul Pogba.
According to The Sun, Juventus are interested in signing Pogba from United in the January transfer window.
The report in the British tabloid has claimed that the Italian giants are willing to include Rabiot in a player-plus-cash deal worth £85 million.
This will come as a blow for Everton, who are claimed to be interested in securing the services of the former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder this month.
According to Sport Mediaset, the Toffees are preparing a €25 million (£21.32 million) bid for the 24-year-old.
Juventus struggles
Rabiot joined Juventus in the summer of 2019 on a free transfer after leaving French giants PSG at the end of the season.
The midfielder has made just five starts and four substitute appearances in Serie A and has played only 200 minutes in the Champions League for the Bianconeri so far this season, according to WhoScored.
