Chelsea are set to rival Manchester United’s interest in midfielder Adrien Rabiot with Thomas Tuchel keen on moving in for the Frenchman this summer.
The 27-year-old is out of contract at Juventus come the summer of 2023 and is rumoured to be looking for a new challenge in his career with a switch to England’s top flight tipped to be on the cards.
Rabiot is wanted by Chelsea’s domestic rivals Manchester United who under their incoming manager Eric ten Hang are keen to ring in changes to the midfield ranks by bringing in the highly-rated France international maestro.
According to a report from Tuttosport, Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea, meanwhile, are credited with an interest in the Serie A talent too with the likes of N’Golo Kante and Jorginho yet to renew their terms in the English capital as they head into their thirties.
Tuchel has worked with Rabiot before during the duo’s stint at Paris Saint-Germain and the Chelsea boss will be backed by the new owners, led by Todd Boehly, to splash the cash on signings this summer and bolster his options in the heart of the midfield.
