A Manchester United star is looking to secure a return to LaLiga, while Liverpool and Spurs may yet beat Barcelona to a PSG man, according to Friday’s European papers.

 

LIVERPOOL, SPURS HANDED MIDFIELDER BOOST

Liverpool and Tottenham have been offered the chance to sign PSG midfielder Adrien Rabiot in January, a report claims.

The 23-year-old’s transfer saga at the French champions continues to roll on, with his contract due to expire in the summer.

Rabiot’s agent and mother, Veronique, confirmed earlier this month that her son had taken the “firm and definitive” decision to walk away upon the expiration of his contract.

Despite rumours, Barcelona have denied that a deal is in place already to bring him to the Camp Nou in the summer, while PSG’s Chairman and CEO Nasser Al-Khelaifi is said to be “irritated” by the series of negative developments.

A source close to Rabiot recently claimed Spurs are considered “below him”, but now Catalan newspaper Sport claims that both the north London side and Liverpool have been offered an interesting proposal.

The outlet claims that Rabiot still wants to join Barcelona, but that he wishes to leave the French capital in January due to the uneasy atmosphere surrounding his situation.

Barca’s financial constraints makes it ‘impossible’ for them to land the player this month, meaning the Premier League duo will be given the chance to swoop in.
