Liverpool reportedly remain keen on signing the PSG ace.
According to a report from Spanish media outlet AS, Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has cooled his interest in Paris-Saint Germain ace Adrien Rabiot because of his excessive wage demands, but Liverpool remain keen on signing the Frenchman.
The 24-year-old will be available on a free transfer this summer, and he will undoubtedly be a fantastic coup for whichever club wins the race for his signature.
Liverpool have plenty of options in central midfield, but they do lack a player with Rabiot’s attributes – someone who is cool and composed when in possession and has the ability to dictate the tempo of the game from a deep-lying position.
AS claims that whilst Madrid were favourites to sign the France international, Zidane’s preference to sign Paul Pogba has opened the door for Liverpool.
The Spanish publication claims that Manchester United and Arsenal are also interested in signing Rabiot.
A lot can still happen between now and the start of next season, but Liverpool must do all they can to bring the PSG ace to Anfield – it could turn out to be a signing of real significance for the Merseyside outfit.
