Arsenal are ‘carefully watching the developments’ around Juventus’ Adrien Rabiot, as per Calciomercato.it
The midfielder has just over six months left on his contract and the renewal is increasingly complicated. Therefore, the Old Lady could look to cash in from his sale in January.
Taking the 27-year-old’s performances into account, the report states his price tag could be between €15m and €20m.
With Arsenal keeping tabs on the France international, it’s claimed the Gunners are ‘ready to go on the offensive’ to sign him if they receive an opening from the Serie A side.
Juventus chief Federico Cherubini and manager Massimiliano Allegri could ask Arsenal for Albert Sambi Lokonga. He has been restricted to less than 200 minutes of action across six matches in the league this season.
If Mikel Arteta’s side refuse to include the Belgian, then Juve could consider a direct sale. If that were to happen, the Italian club will use the money raised from Rabiot’s sale to sign his successor.
Asking for €15-20m when there were reports he was available for free last summer is ambitious.
