Juventus not ready to offload United & Arsenal target, Adrien Rabiot

Despite rumours about Manchester United and Arsenal's interest in French midfielder, Adrien Rabiot, Juventus do not have any intention to let him leave Turin.

Although reports claimed that the Frenchman will be part of a potential deal to reunite Paul Pogba with Juventus, it appears that the Italian giants won't sell Rabiot in this January transfer window.

Adrien Rabiot is not for sale.

Rabiot has made 12 appearances in all competitions for the Bianconeri in 2019-20, five of those coming from the start in Serie A since coming to Italy.

The 24-year-old, who left PSG on a free transfer in somewhat acrimonious circumstances, is contracted with the Serie A champions until 2023, with there being no pressure on Juve's part to sell.

Sarri has previously claimed that Rabiot hasn't found it easy adjusting to life in Italy, stating that his "introvert" character has made it more difficult for him.

He told reporters: "He has struggled to settle into our football, but that is normal. He also came off an injury and struggled more in the first half in Germany [against Leverkusen]. He is also quite introverted, which doesn't help him to settle."

But that is by no means a hint that the Italian wants rid of the midfielder, with Rabiot set to play an important role for the remainder of the season as Juve aim to win the Serie A title and advance to the latter stages of the Champions League.
