Newcastle United are among the most interested sides in Adrien Rabiot, according to Calcio Mercato.

Newcastle are keen to bring in the French midfielder, who has been in fine form in recent weeks.

Rabiot has broken back into Juve’s starting line-up, which led to doubts over whether he would be sold this summer.

However the latest reports suggest that the Seria A champions are willing to listen to offers for the 25-year-old, even despite his recent up-turn in performances.

That has piqued the interest of Newcastle, who remain very keen on bringing the energetic midfielder to St. James’ Park.

Calcio Mercato have previously suggested that Newcastle would be willing to offer him £120,000-a-week to join them in a £25 million deal.

And the Magpies are now locked in a battle to sign Rabiot, alongside Everton and Manchester United.

Rabiot, himself, apparently views the Premier League as an appealing option and could be tempted to move to England.

If Newcastle are to land Rabiot they will surely need their takeover to go through.

It is hugely difficult to see Mike Ashley financing a deal for the Juve man, especially with his own future at the club uncertain. 

Rabiot would increase the quality available to Steve Bruce’s side significantly, and would surely be an immediate starter if he was to move to Tyneside.
