Arsenal has been handed a boost in their pursuit of Adrien Rabiot after the Frenchman insisted playing in the Champions League is an important consideration for him to pick his next club.
Rabiot has been one of the finest midfielders in Europe this season and would be out of a contract in the summer.
Juventus is struggling to keep him and at the moment, it seems certain he will leave for another club.
Arsenal would love to be the side that adds the former PSG man to their squad and that could be the case if they continue to win games.
Fabrizio Romano quotes the midfielder discussing his future on Twitter. Rabiot said: “I wanna play Champions League, it will be a crucial point to make a decision on my future.
“New deal with Juventus? There are no recent talks, but we’ve time to do that. There’s no news at this stage”.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Rabiot has had a good season and it seems Juve will struggle to keep him in their squad when this term finishes.
The Frenchman is still just 27, which means he could offer us up to three more seasons of good football.
However, there will be competition for his signature, which will make him demand for a lot of money.

An accomplish player, not sure if an agreement could be heck out with his mom, but seems to have a little too much baggage for the gaffer liking.
Agree with Gunsmoke above. Arsenal needs players wanting to play for the Club, not players like Rabiot, who sway in the breeze and aren’t happy at any club they transfer to.
Mummy won’t let him play champions League way past his bed time
While I wIsh to disassociate myself from the somewhat personally insulting posts above, I see that player, though undoubtedly talented, as not having the NECESSARY mental mindset to be of serious interest to MA.
