Adrien Rabiot insists that he is "happy" at Juventus and has refused to rule out a contract renewal with the club despite reported interest from Manchester United and Arsenal.

Adrien Rabiot has insisted that he is "happy" at Juventus and has refused to rule out a contract renewal with the club despite reported interest from the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal.

The 28-year-old was strongly linked with a move away from the Italian giants this summer, but he instead penned a one-year contract extension until June 2024.

Rabiot remains the subject of much speculation, though, and the midfielder is able to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs from January onwards.

Man United are said to have held an interest in Rabiot for some time and were keen to recruit the France international last summer before turning their attention to Casemiro.

It is understood that a transfer to Old Trafford ultimately failed to materialise for the midfielder due to the wage demands set by the player's mother and agent Veronique Rabiot.

Nevertheless, Man United have been tipped to reignite their interest in Rabiot, although they could face competition from Premier League rival Arsenal.

A recent report claims that the Gunners are planning to move for Rabiot in the January transfer window, with Mikel Arteta keen to strengthen his squad to boost the club's hopes of lifting silverware.

Chelsea have also been credited with an interest in Rabiot, who revealed in December that he would like to play in the Premier League at some stage of his career.

"I have always said that I'd like to play in England in my career. I still have that desire. I'd like to evolve in the Premier League," Rabiot told The Athletic.

"I haven't got a Premier League team in mind right now. I haven't chosen a team or anything. It's a general thing. It's the league, it's the level of play that's going on, that's what attracts me most. It corresponds to my qualities."

However, Rabiot has since claimed that he has no immediate plans to seek pastures new and he could commit his future to Juventus by signing a new contract.

"[Juventus] is a club where I am happy and we are having a very good season," Rabiot told French news outlet Telefoot during the international break.

"Staying at a team I knew very well, in the season going into the European Championship, seemed the best option. The club has faith in me.

"We'll see later on about a (contract) renewal, but in any case I am very happy with my situation at the club and in the France squad."

Rabiot has spent the last four years at Juventus, contributing with 14 goals and 18 assists in 185 games across all competitions, and he has won three trophies including the 2019-20 Serie A title.
