The 29-year-old is one of the best central midfielders in European football, but he is currently a free-agent after parting ways with Juventus this summer.

Rabiot has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League for some time, but the midfielder has the clear ambition of continuing in Europe.

It is now revealed that Arsenal and United are weighing up contract offers for the World Cup finalist, but it won't be easy to secure his signature.

Rabiot is eyeing a weekly salary in the region of £230,000 per week alongside a significant signing-on fee of around £13 million.

United are unlikely to make such a huge outlay at the moment. Their scenario could change if they offload Casemiro in the New Year.

Arsenal could be tempted to sign him amid injuries to Mikel Merino and Martin Odegaard , but they have yet to make contact with his agent.
