Adrien Rabiot dreams of a Premier League move, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The French midfielder is once again facing an uncertain future at Juventus. As had been the case in years prior, the midfielder is out of contract in the summer. In recent years, Rabiot eventually ended up signing one-year extensions in Turin, but things may pan out differently this year.

Though Juventus want to keep him after a very good season, talks over a new deal are yet to begin and there is a distinct possibility that he departs in the summer. Rabiot admitted as much last week, saying: “I remained because I wanted to remain, to help this team get back into the Champions League…even if I am not here next season,” Rabiot told Sky Sports.

“If we achieve that objective, then we will sit down and talk about it [my future]. That would certainly be better from my point of view, but we still have to discuss it.”

Man Utd are long-term admirers of the 29-year-old, having tried to sign him on a free transfer several times. Rabiot could also be a solid option for Chelsea as Mauricio Pochettino has demanded a change in transfer policy away from youth. According to Fabrizio Romano, it's certainly possible that the ex-Man City academy product will play his football in England next season.

Romano on Rabiot

Speaking to CaughtOffside, the Italian transfer expert revealed that Rabiot dreams of playing in the Premier League. “Adrien Rabiot has spoken about his future and the situation is that he won’t discuss anything before the end of the season, or better to say as soon as Juve will have a guarantee to play Champions League next season,” Romano said.

“The French midfielder will be open to hearing their proposal for a new contract, but talks will take place later, not now. In general, Rabiot has always been open to a different move, especially the Premier League is his dream from what I’m told. But Juventus still have a chance to offer the player a new deal and keep him.”

Romano also reiterated that Juventus wonderkid Kenan Yildiz is set to snub Arsenal by signing a new deal with the Old Lady. He added: “Many clubs keep monitoring Yildiz, but he loves Juventus and he’s happy there so the situation is currently quiet.”
