Newcastle will contemplate an approach for Adrien Rabiot in January, according to Calciomercato. It is no secret that the Magpies were struck a blow when summer signing Sandro Tonali was banned for ten months for violating gambling regulations.
Newcastle sports director Dan Ashworth remained tight-lipped about whether the club will prioritize a midfielder in the winter transfer window before of the match against Arsenal. Rabiot, who has just over six months left on his contract, may be a low-cost option.
Manchester United have recently been linked with the Frenchman, but the player’s mother has flatly rejected that a move to Old Trafford is in the plans. Rabiot would provide Champions League and premier European club experience from his time at PSG and Juventus.
However, disciplinary difficulties have dogged the 28-year-old’s career, and his off-field professionalism has frequently been called into doubt. Since the completion of the Saudi-backed purchase, signing the appropriate characters has been a hallmark of Newcastle’s transfer operations.
According to Tutto Mercato Web, Genoa defender Radu Dragusin is a possible Newcastle target. Since pursuing first-team football last year, the 21-year-old has emerged as a prominent Serie A talent as a product of Juventus’ academy.

Fabian Schar will turn 32 next month, and Sven Botman’s injury has highlighted Newcastle’s lack of depth at center-back. Jamaal Lascelles has returned to the fold and has barely missed a beat, but the Magpies will be looking for a long-term solution in the coming transfer windows.
According to the publication, Toon scouts are keeping a close eye on the Romanian as they plan for the future. According to Italian media, the defender is worth €30 million, despite Genoa spending only €5.5 million to make his loan move permanent last summer.
