Manchester United are pushing to complete the free transfer of Juventus star Adrien Rabiot, who is out of contract in June.

Juventus agreed a fee with United for the France midfielder last summer but his wage demands saw talks breakdown.

United signed Real Madrid ace Casemiro instead, while Christian Eriksen also arrived.

However, Erik ten Hag retains a strong interest in the former Paris Saint-Germain ace and L’Equipe say he’s spoken to Rabiot about a move to Old Trafford.

With the Frenchman’s deal in Turin set to expire next month, United could sign Rabiot for free and would be more willing to meet his salary demands as they wouldn’t have to put up a fee.

It’s claimed United are now pushing hard to sign Rabiot and that he’s considered an ‘important objective’ for Ten Hag.

Another key target is Harry Kane, who could cost around £100m should Tottenham consider selling to United.

That price, in part, explains why United are keen on Rabiot as they can sign a World Cup winner in a cut-price deal.

United will consider offers for Scott McTominay this summer, while it’s uncertain whether they will look to make Marcel Sabitzer’s move to the club a permanent one.

Rabiot is enjoying his best campaign with Juventus, having scored 11 in all competitions for the Old Lady this term.

Harry Kane’s future is set to be a huge talking point when this summer’s transfer window swings open in June.

The 29 year-old is approaching the end of his contract with Tottenham and he is yet to win a trophy in north London having come through the club’s academy.

Kane, who this season became the highest goalscorer in Tottenham’s history, has attracted interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe – including Premier League rivals Manchester United.

But when exactly does Kane’s contract expire with Tottenham?

When does Harry Kane’s contract expire?

Kane’s contract with Tottenham will expire in the summer of 2024.

The England striker signed his current six-year deal back in 2018 worth up to £200,000 a week including bonuses.

Kane signed the contract after helping Spurs finish third, second and third in the previous three seasons.

An appearance in the Champions League final followed a year later, but since then Tottenham’s performances and results have declined.

Since reaching the final against Liverpool in Madrid, the highest the club have finished in the Premier League is fourth.

Spurs have also failed to progress past the fifth round of the FA Cup in that time and they were also beaten by Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final in 2021.

And so with Kane entering the final 12 months of his contract, this means that Daniel Levy will have a big decision to make this summer.

The Tottenham chairman could decide to sell Kane this year to guarantee a transfer fee for the club.

However, Levy could elect to keep his star man for next season in the hope of eventually persuading him to sign a new contract – but this would risk Kane walking away from the club as a free agent in 2024.

Will Harry Kane sign a new contract with Tottenham?

According to The Telegraph, the growing expectation is that Kane will not sign a new contract with Tottenham.

Kane’s advisors have not commented on his situation, but sources within the club are said to believe there is little hope he will extend his stay.

Manchester United are thought to be laying the groundwork ahead of a potential bid this summer, with Tottenham set to demand at least £100 million to part company with him.

Bayern Munich also have an interest in acquiring Kane’s services, but The Telegraph state he is keen to stay in England and break Alan Shearer’s all-time Premier League goalscoring record.
