Liverpool are interested in signing Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot on a free transfer, according to reporter Ignazio Genuardi.
The French journalist claims that the 28-year-old is on a “shortlist” of targets that manager Jurgen Klopp is considering ahead of the summer transfer window:
En fin de contrat avec la #Juventus #Turin, #Rabiot peut notamment compter sur l’intérêt de #Liverpool. Alors que la Vieille Dame aura du mal à s’aligner sur ses exigences, l’ancien Parisien figure sur la short-list d’un Klopp en quête de renfort dans l’entrejeu. #Mercato

Rabiot is struggling to agree terms over a new contract with Juve and, with his current deal expiring at the end of June, it is looking increasingly likely that he will leave the Serie A club in the coming months.
Nearly every Premier League ‘Big Six’ team, including Tottenham, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea, have been mentioned as potential suitors for the player over the past year.
It is believed Rabiot came very close to joining United at the start of this season, only for the deal to be scuppered by personal terms. Whether Liverpool would have the same problems agreeing a deal, we shall have to wait and see.
