Rabiot has been linked with Manchester United for several weeks and is even believed to have spoken to Erik ten Hag over a move.
Now, however, Gianluca Di Marzio is reporting that negotiations between Rabiot and United have slowed down, in part because the player is unconvinced about joining United due to their lack of Champions League football.
Di Marzio wrote: “Adrien Rabiot-Manchester United negotiation has slowed down: very high requests from the player who however remains unconvinced of the destination given that the Red Devils will not play the Champions League this season.”

Elsewhere on the Manchester United front, James Robson has reported on Tuesday evening that Manchester United want to know how much they will end up spending on a holding midfielder in relation to what they do further forward.
Hakim Ziyech and Antony are of interest to Ten Hag, but a no.6 is the absolute priority:
Still the feeling at United is that they want to know how much they will end up spending on a holding midfielder in relation to what they do up front.
Ten Hag would like Ziyech & still likes Antony.
But a No6 is the absolute priority.— James Robson (@jamesalanrobson) August 16, 2022
On the holding midfielder front, United have also been linked with Brighton’s Moises Caicedo.
Manchester United have also Moises Caicedo’s name in the list as one of many options for the midfield, as revealed today on HWG podcast. 🚨🔴 #MUFC
Brighton want to keep Caicedo so not an easy deal, in case Man Utd will decide to proceed.
