Juventus have already given their willingness to negotiate with Manchester United for the sale of Adrien Rabiot, according to Italian journalist Giovanni Albanese.

Albanese states there are first signs of the approval from the midfielder to the possible move to Old Trafford and the Red Devils will present an offer to him in the next few hours.

Meanwhile, Tuttosport on Tuesday explain Manchester United contacted the Serie A side to find out the feasibility to sign the 25-year-old this summer.

AS Monaco also like the France international and have not lost hope of bringing him back to the Ligue 1.

The only way they would be in a position to sign him is if they progress further in this season’s Champions League.

Monaco face PSV Eindhoven in the second leg of the third qualifying round later today after the first leg ended in a 1-1 draw.

The Turin club are demanding €20m for the former Paris Saint-Germain man, while reports in the UK have said Manchester United will offer €15m for the player with a deal expiring in 2023.

The key issue is to find an agreement with Rabiot, and this is vital to set up a deal with Erik ten Hag’s side, as he wants a place in the starting lineup and an opportunity to play in the Europe’s elite club competitions.

Manchester United cannot fulfil the latter, but will be able to compensate it by making an attractive economic proposal.

For now, everything passes through the player’s entourage.

Gazzetta dello Sport also states there was a contact between the two clubs yesterday.

They further add there could be first contacts between Manchester United and Rabiot’s mother, Veronique, who is also his agent.

Although the Frenchman wants to play in the Champions League, the newspaper explains United would still be a ‘welcome destination’, as long as his financial demands are met.
