Newcastle United are not expected to make a move for Adrian Rabiot during this transfer window, sources have told Football Insider.

Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that the north east giants are focusing their attention elsewhere.

Rabiot is available on a free transfer this summer after leaving Juventus, and Football Insider revealed that Liverpool are considering making a move for him.

But it’s not a cheap deal because big wages and signing-on fees still need to be factored in.

Newcastle’s current priority is getting a deal for Marc Guehi over the line in time for the new Premier League campaign to begin next weekend.

Football Insider revealed that the Premier League giants are currently preparing for other clubs to try and hijack a £60million deal for the central defender.

Newcastle United still have other priorities before Adrien Rabiot

Even after a potential deal for Guehi is sorted, sources believe that Eddie Howe will focus on signing a right-winger.

The Magpies want to bolster their attacking options, and a wide forward is another priority area for the team.

Football Insider revealed the club have held talks with Chelsea for a potential deal for Nani Madueke, which could resolve this problem if it goes through.

Newcastle aren’t focusing on central midfielders in this market, which is why Rabiot could pass them by.

The Magpies will be boosted by the return of Sandro Tonali from August 27 following his ten-month ban for illegal betting.
