Adrien Rabiot, a French international and versatile central midfielder, has become a highly sought-after free agent after his contract with Juventus expired last month.
Reports indicate that he is seeking a deal worth £7.6 million a year and has been offered to several clubs.
Recently, French journalist Romain Collet-Gaudin revealed that Rabiot is in talks with both Arsenal FC and Liverpool.
However, in a surprising turn of events, Rabiot prefers to sign with Arsenal and is close to joining the club.
