In the height of summer, transfer rumors were rife with rumors of Manchester United's pursuit of Zuyundas core Rabiot as his contract expired. However, the 28-year-old French international demanded a whopping €10 million (HK$85.7 million) a year, a demand that deterred United, and eventually Rabiot opted to renew his contract with Zuyundas for another year.
It is reported that the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport disclosed that Rabiot's mother and manager Veronique once again threw a heavy bomb, she asked Manchester United to provide a three-year contract, not only the annual salary needs to reach 10 million euros, but also need to pay an additional 10 million euros in signing fees. In the face of such a high offer, United decisively rebuffed this seemingly astronomical request.
