Adrien Rabiot refuses a salary cut if he makes it to Manchester United

DBasia.news – Manchester United’s interest in Adrien Rabiot is not a game, MU has almost reached an agreement. However, there are still obstacles, namely regarding the value of his mother’s salary, Veronique refuses a salary cut.

Manchester United moved quickly to find a new midfielder after losing to Brighton & Hove Albion in the 2022-2023 Premier League opener. Rabiot then emerged as the main target even though the Red Devils are still pursuing Frenkie de Jong.

Manchester United’s way to obtain Rabiot’s service was positively welcomed by Juventus as the owner. The two clubs have reportedly agreed on a transfer fee of around 15 million pounds.

Manchester United then continued the transfer process with Rabiot’s agent who is also his mother, Veronique. However, the negotiations between the two sides were tough.

Manchester United’s offer to pay Rabiot around 6 million euros per year did not make Veronique satisfied. This amount is lower than what he received at Juventus.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Veronique asked Manchester United to give Rabiot a minimum salary of 7 million euros per season. However, this request has not been granted.

Manchester United seems to be more careful in providing salaries for their new players. They reject stars who come to Old Trafford to be more tempted by high salaries than love for the club.

Although the agreement has not been reached, the negotiations between the two parties continue. It is possible that Rabiot’s transfer process will be completed in the next few hours.
