Arsenal are reportedly keen to sign Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot during the January transfer window.
The France international's future is currently the subject of much speculation, as his contract with the Old Lady, which he only penned over the summer, is due to expire next June.
Manchester United have been strongly linked with the midfielder over the last year, and a recent report claimed that the Red Devils are preparing to reignite their interest in 2024.
According to Calciomercato, Arsenal are also keen on the 28-year-old and want to sign him in January in order to boost their hopes of securing silverware next year.
The report claims that the Gunners had initially been looking to sign Rabiot on a free transfer next summer, but the North London club could find it difficult to win the race at the end of the 2023-24 campaign due to the amount of clubs that are likely to be in the running.
Mikel Arteta's side are said to be looking to offer Jorginho in exchange, with the Italy international's time at the Emirates Stadium seemingly coming to an end.
Juventus are said to be willing to let Rabiot leave in January for a fee or a possible exchange, with the club not prepared to lose him on a free transfer at the end of the campaign.
The midfielder has again been an important player for the Turin giants this season, making six appearances in Serie A, scoring once and providing two assists in the process.
Rabiot arrived at Juventus in the summer of 2019 after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expired.
The midfielder has made 183 appearances for the Old Lady in all competitions, scoring 18 goals and registering 14 assists in the process.
Rabiot has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, and it is understood that he was in advanced discussions with Man United during last summer's transfer window.
The Frenchman's wage demands are said to have ended his hopes of moving to Old Trafford, though, with the 20-time English champions ultimately switching their attention to Casemiro.
Arsenal returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a 4-0 success over Bournemouth on Saturday, with the result moving Arteta's side onto 17 points in the Premier League table, which has left them third.
Juventus, meanwhile, are fourth in the Serie A table, boasting 13 points from their opening six games. body check tags ::
