Gazzetta Dello Sport claim – as per GIFN – Tottenham and Chelsea are looking at a deal to sign Juventus man Adrien Rabiot – with Juve willing to ‘listen to offers’. The Old Lady want between £17million and £25million.

Rabiot, 27, has been a regular for Juventus this season under Max Allegri. He has clocked up 45 appearances for the Italian giants, starting 39 times. He missed seven Juventus matches in 2021-22, five through injuries.

But Juventus are looking to revamp their side and despite his involvement in the Italian outfit’s team, they are open to his exit. The report states that Juventus will listen to offers for the six-time Ligue 1 title winner.

Tottenham and Chelsea are interested in signing Rabiot – a player Fabio Paratici actually signed for Juventus on a free from PSG in 2019. The report claims Juventus will consider offers between £17million and £25million.

Tottenham and Chelsea looking at Rabiot: Could be a bargain

Even at £25million, the upper end of the scale in which Juventus are willing to sell Rabiot, he would be cheap. A player that is incredibly experienced, with 269 club appearances, and 26 caps for France, at just 27 years of age.

He has a huge 24 honours to his name already, meaning he clearly boasts an incredible winning mentality. They include seven league titles, six with PSG and one with Juventus. Tottenham, or Chelsea, for Rabiot?

Chelsea have numerous options in midfield; N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic, Jorginho, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and more. Meanwhile, Spurs need cover for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur. He is better off at Spurs.
