"Tottenham" seeks to acquire A. Rabiot © ZUMAPRESS com.

Adrien Rabiot was close to leaving Juventus this summer. This winter, history could repeat itself.

Journalist Gary Jacob of "The Times" reports that Tottenham Hotspur in London is seeking to acquire the 27-year-old Frenchman.

After a successful World Cup, A. Rabiot's value has almost not increased, as his contract expires at the end of this season. In January, clubs have the opportunity to buy him at a lower price.

According to G. Jacob, Juventus is asking for 13.5 million pounds for the central midfielder.

It is also reported that Spurs may say goodbye to Japhet Tanganga and Bryan Gil during the winter transfer window. In their place, a defender, an attacking player, and a midfielder are being sought, a position currently being eyed by A. Rabiot.

Last winter, the London club acquired Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur from the "Old Lady."

At the same time, an investigation is being carried out regarding Juventus's actions during the recent transfer windows. The club could face serious penalties. Pavel Nedved and Andrea Agnelli have already resigned.
