Midfielder Adrien Rabiot suggests that he is open to extending his contract at Juventus past the end of the current season.

Adrien Rabiot has revealed that he has made no decisions regarding his future at Juventus.

For much of the past 12 months, it has been suggested that there is an inevitability about the Frenchman's eventual departure from the Italian giants.

Last summer, Manchester United seemed close to signing Rabiot, only for the player's wage demands to allegedly lead to the Premier League outfit looking elsewhere.

Since entering the final 12 months of his contract, the 27-year-old has remained as one of Juventus' key players, making 32 starts and just one substitute outing in all competitions.

Rabiot has nine goals and three assists to his name, yet his form has naturally led to a wide array of top European clubs taking an interest in his signature.

Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Barcelona have all been suggested as potential destinations for the potential free agent.

However, in an interview with Tuttosport, Rabiot has indicated that he is giving consideration to remaining in Turin, helped by his affection for boss Massimiliano Allegri.

Speaking to the outlet, Rabiot said: "At the moment there are no updates, but surely we'll speak soon because the season will finish in two months.

"I am calm. There's a chance I leave, but I could also sign a new contract with Juventus. I am happy in Turin, I am doing a good job and on good terms with the directors, the teammates and the coach.

"He [Allegri] has helped me over the last two years, trusting me a lot. This is important to feel well and make the right decision for my future."

Juventus are currently in a battle to secure a place in next season's Champions League having been docked 15 points for financial irregularities earlier in the season.

However, Allegri's side have since closed the gap to fourth position in the Serie A standings to seven points, helped by the teams above them putting together periods of inconsistency.

Juventus have also reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League, where they will next face Sporting Lisbon who defeated Arsenal in the last 16.
