Newcastle United set to upstage Manchester United in a transfer battle

As Newcastle United conclude their 2022/23 Premier League season against Chelsea, the latest transfer news surrounding the club emerges featuring Adrien Rabiot.

With a confirmed top-four finish and UEFA Champions League qualification secured, Eddie Howe's side can now focus on their upcoming match at Stamford Bridge, where they have the opportunity to surpass Manchester United and claim third place. While this achievement won't affect their continental qualification, it could enhance their appeal in the summer transfer window.

Newcastle United are reportedly poised to rival Manchester United in the pursuit of Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot. Despite the Red Devils' longstanding interest in the 28-year-old Frenchman, the Magpies are said to have the potential to sway Rabiot's decision and lure him to St James' Park.

According to reports from Italy, Rabiot is among the players expected to depart Juventus this summer, as his contract is set to expire. Several European clubs are supposedly vying for his signature, but Newcastle are described as the club ready to offer an enticing deal.
