Liverpool icon John Barnes has backed the club to pursue a deal for Adrien Rabiot after his Juventus exit.
Rabiot is currently a free agent after his Juve contract expired at the end of June.
And Barnes has backed Liverpool to make a play now that his involvement at Euro 2024 has ended.
"Well, I think that that role is by playing at number six, that holding role. Rabiot, you know he doesn’t necessarily play as a holding midfield player. But he will defend," Barnes told mybettingsites.co.uk.
"He got far with his team in France. He’s a good player. He’s on a free. So he’s a good one to take because, you know, he’s always been consistent. So I wouldn’t mind seeing him come in.
“He’s good on the ball. He’s a good defensive midfield player who could also break forward and make passes. Not going to score many goals, but I think he’d be a good addition to the squad, particularly if he’s on a free.”
Galatasaray want bold McTominay and Hojbjerg double deal
Galatasaray have announced their interest in signing Scott McTominay and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
The Turkish champions fought off Fenerbahce to win their division last season, and their rivals have responded by appointing Jose Mourinho.
Galatasaray are keen to remain ahead of Fener and have big plans for the summer transfer window. They want to McTominay from Manchester United and Tottenham’s Hojlberg.
“We are interested in a player from the Premier League and Manchester United,” vice-president Ibrahim Hatipoglu told CNN Turk.
“There is nothing more natural than the high cost of this. There are discussions regarding his transfer fee. For us, the total cost, including transfer fees and player receivables [salary], is important at the decision point.
“Once the negotiations with both the club and the player are completed, the cost becomes apparent.”
Hatipoglu added to Haber Sarı Kirmizi: “McTominay’s transfer is being discussed.
“Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is a good player, he has many suitors, he wants to see all option.”
Manchester United hope to hear a decision from Leny Yoro on his future over the coming days.
However, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is reportedly launching a clever plan to ensure the Red Devils do not fall short if the Frenchman decides to join Real Madrid.
According to Sky Germany, United have made enquiries about Bundesliga champion Jonathan Tah over the past week.
Tah was widely expected to join Bayern Munich this summer but that move has not yet materialised.
It could allow United to steal in and snap up the experienced centre-back, 28, should Yoro opt against a switch to Old Trafford.
