It goes on to say Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool and Newcastle have had contact with the midfielder’s representatives in recent months, but nothing is set in stone yet regarding his imminent future.
Juventus are also said to have reopened dialogue with the former PSG man about renewing his deal, given the only option was to hand him a one-year extension last year.

“I must think about it and talk to the club,” the former Toulouse loanee admitted.
“I’ve already said I am happy here, but we’ll talk about it. I want to enjoy every game until the end of the season, and then we’ll see, but we are calm.”
Rabiot has been a mainstay under Massimiliano Allegri so far this season, having made 22 appearances in both the Serie A and Italian Cup.Â
The 28-year-old has scored 4 goals and registered a further 6 assists, with his Juventus side currently second in the Italian top flight.
But league leaders Inter Milan are now nine points clear and have also played a game less than the Old Lady.
