Newcastle United, along with fellow Premier League side Manchester United, have shown interest in signing free agent Adrien Rabiot.
The French midfielder became a free agent this summer after leaving Serie A giants Juventus following the expiry of his contract.
The midfielder is currently exploring his options with the Premier League, Turkey and Saudi Arabia all interested in his services.
according to Football InsiderNewcastle United have been put off by demands for the former Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus midfielder.
The Magpies are exploring the free agent market to bolster their squad after an underwhelming summer transfer window.
It has been a major setback for the Magpies as they failed to address most of their transfer market issues this summer.
With Rabiot’s agent working hard to find him a new club, the Toon Army explored the opportunity to sign the player.
However, both Newcastle and Manchester United have been unimpressed with the midfielder’s salary and contract demands.
For any deal, according to the report, the midfielder will have to reduce his demands.
Both Newcastle and Man United are looking for an additional midfielder to their squad to cope with the number of games they will play this season.
Newcastle United want Adrien Rabiot to add depth to midfield
Injuries have been common for both in recent seasons and the addition of Rabiot will add depth to the middle of the park.
The Frenchman, who was part of the Euro 2024 squad, will have to settle for a lower salary if he wants to play in the Premier League.
Rabiot has the experience to play at the highest level, having won titles with both clubs in France and Italy.
His strengths include his passing ability and his ability to link up with his teammates.
