Manchester United and Liverpool are reportedly in contention to sign the Frenchmen.

According to a report from French media outlet Le 10 Sport, Manchester United are preparing a lucrative contract offer for Adrien Rabiot this summer, but the Frenchman would prefer to join Liverpool.

The France international is out of contract this summer, with his contract with Paris Saint-Germain nearing its expiry date, and he will be a superb addition for whichever club wins the race for his signature.

Manchester United are in desperate need of more quality in the middle of the park, whilst Liverpool could probably do with someone who is comfortable in possession and has the ability to dictate the tempo of the game.

Le 10 Sport claims that the Reds Devils are preparing a €10 million (£8.8 million) per year contract offer for Rabiot, as well as a €5 million (£4.4 million) signing on fee, but the 24-year-old would prefer to move to Anfield due to his admiration for Steven Gerrard and the six-time European Cup winners.

Whether Jurgen Klopp will act upon Rabiot’s reported desire and bring him to Liverpool, however, remains to be seen.
