The 28-year-old has less than four months remaining on his current Juventus contract and he is yet to agree a renewal with the Old Lady.

Rabiot has been linked with a move to Old Trafford over the past few years and he was expected to join the Red Devils on a free transfer last summer before he signed a one-year extension at Juventus.

With his deal set to expire at the end of June, Rabiot’s future is a hotly-discussed topic, but the Frenchman was eager to quash transfer talk.

What has Adrien Rabiot said?

During a press conference while on international duty with France, Rabiot was asked about his future at Juventus.

“I have not decided anything regarding my future. It is true that last season I remained at Juventus knowing full well that we wouldn’t participate in European competition. That was my choice,” he admitted (as per Football Italia).

“Next season we are due to participate in the Champions League and the Club World Cup. So these are elements in my thoughts, but I have not made any decisions yet.

“I will wait until the end of the season, then we will discuss it with the club and at that moment I will see. For now, I am trying to remain concentrated, to recover from my injury, end the season well and prepare for the Euros. I am in no rush to make a decision.

Rabiot continued: “I must reflect carefully, seeing as I am reaching an important age in my career. I feel at my peak and it will be important to make the right choice. I think it is best to make a decision before the Euros, so I can focus on that.

“Since I went to Juve, every year my name gets associated with PSG. On the one hand, it’s flattering, but considering the way things ended there, it seems unlikely. I can never close the door completely to anything, but this will not be my priority.”
