Juventus are set to enter what could be their final round of talks for Adrien Rabiot, who has been heavily linked with a move to both Chelsea and Arsenal. The midfielder's contract is set to expire in the summer of 2023 with talks over an extension not progressing well and many in the club's hierarchy condemned to losing Rabiot.
A number of Premier League clubs have registered an interested in the 27-year-old with Chelsea and Arsenal also potentially joined by Tottenham in the race for his signature. Rabiot's proposed move to Manchester United last summer fell through but he could be arriving in England a year on from his move to Manchester breaking down.
Despite Juventus' poor form and worrying financial situation, Rabiot has been impressive this season scoring three goals and notching two assists from 11 Serie A appearances this season.

Injuries to N'Golo Kante and Paul Pogba saw Rabiot lock down a spot in France's midfield for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar alongside Aurelien Tchouameni. The former Paris Saint-Germain star played an important role in getting his country to the final, but they ultimately came up short against Lionel Messi's Argentina.
Rabiot's priority is now on where his future will lie and with six months left on his current deal, many clubs are hopeful of having him in their squad for the 2023/24 season and the latest report indicates his future will not be in Italy.
Calciomercato report that the Bianconeri still hope it is not too late to agree to fresh terms with the midfielder but know that it will be 'almost impossible' to negotiate an extension that will see him remain at Juventus beyond 2023.
Chelsea are targeting a midfield rebuild, but the Blues are unlikely to be able to sign all of Jude Bellingham, Declan Rice and Enzo Fernandez, which could make Rabiot a suitable alternative. Meanwhile, the Gunners are on the hunt for a new central midfielder with Youri Tielemans as their main target, although the Gunners may prefer a move for Rabiot.
