A look at the latest Newcastle United transfer rumours on Friday, May 19.
Newcastle could revive Adrien Rabiot interest
Newcastle United continue to be linked with Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot. According to reports in Italy by Calcio Mercato, the Frenchman, who is out of contract this summer, remains a target for the Magpies.
The 28-year-old has been repeatedly linked with a move to St. James' Park since the takeover went through on Tyneside last season. However, Rabiot, who is also a reported target for Manchester United, will be available on a free transfer this summer.
The report claims Juve are still hoping to keep the midfielder and he's open to staying, but would like to analyse the offers on the table first. It adds that concrete offers will arrive from the Premier League this summer, with Newcastle 'willing to bet' on his signing.
