JUVENTUS midfielder Adrien Rabiot is a transfer target for Manchester City and Everton, according to reports.
The Premier League leaders are said to be keen on the 25-year-old, but it is unlikely he will leave the Italian champions this summer.

In an interview with Italian newspaper Tuttosport, agent Vincenzo Morabito, who was involved in Bobby Duncan’s high-profile youth move from Liverpool to Fiorentina in 2019, said: “The Frenchman is on Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City goal list.
“But he will not leave Juventus.”
Despite Morabito’s comments, it is believed Juventus will accept a £26million offer for Rabiot this summer.
If City do pursue a move for the midfielder, they may face stiff competition from Everton.
The Toffees tried to sign Rabiot last summer and they continue to be linked with a move.
Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti gave him his professional debut at PSG in 2012.
Rabiot was on the books at the Etihad in 2008 as youngster but returned to France just a few months later.

He broke into PSG’s first team as a 17-year-old and went on to win five league titles before signing for Juventus in 2019.
Rabiot made 28 Serie A appearances last season and has been an ever present figure in 2020/21, featuring 32 times in all competitions.
He is also a France international, picking up 11 caps so far but missing the 2018 World Cup triumph.
