Adrien Rabiot could be set for a move to the Premier League after Real Madrid decided to focus their efforts on signing Paul Pogba this summer.
According to reports, the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder is wanted by Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United this summer.
Los Blancos have decided to pull the plug on a potential deal for the 24-year-old, who has not played a game of football since December 11.
According to Spanish publication AS, Zinedine Zidane was put off by Rabiot’s wage demands and would rather go for Pogba.
The United midfielder has reportedly fallen out with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and looks set to leave Old Trafford this summer.
As a result, the Red Devils have been linked with a move for Rabiot – who will be a free agent this summer.
However, the Frenchman has not played for five months now because of a dispute with the hierarchy of the Parisian club which saw him sack his mother as his agent.
