Juventus are reportedly becoming increasingly confident of signing Adrien Rabiot to a new contract amid the ongoing speculation surrounding his future.
The 28-year-old was heavily linked with a move away from the Italian giants last summer, but he ultimately penned a new one-year contract until June 2024.
There is again speculation surrounding his future, with both Arsenal and Manchester United said to be keen to bring him to the Premier League next year.
Arsenal are believed to be long-term admirers of Rabiot, while Man United allegedly attempted to sign him last summer before pulling the plug on a potential deal due to his wage demands.
According to 90min, Juventus are confident that they will soon be able to come to an agreement with the France international over a new long-term contract.

The report claims that Man United head coach Erik ten Hag remains keen on Rabiot, while Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are also keeping an eye on his situation.
However, Rabiot is said to be happy at Juventus this season and is willing to pen a long-term agreement in Turin.
The midfielder has scored once and provided two assists in 11 Serie A appearances during the 2023-24 campaign, and the Italian club's head coach Massimiliano Allegri recently lavished praise on him.
"An extraordinary player, he has a different engine from the others, he learned to score goals, he believes more in himself," Allegri told reporters.

"I think he can do better this year, not in terms of goals but in terms of performance. It gives me great satisfaction already for the way he runs."
Last month, Rabiot told Telefoot: "[Juventus] is a club where I am happy and we are having a very good season. Staying at a team I knew very well, in the season going into the European Championship, seemed the best option. The club has faith in me.
"We'll see later on about a (contract) renewal, but in any case I am very happy with my situation at the club and in the France squad."
Rabiot made the move to Juventus on a free transfer in 2019 after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain had expired.
The midfielder has scored 18 goals and registered 14 assists in 188 appearances for the Old Lady in all competitions, winning one Serie A title, the Coppa Italia and the Italian Super Cup in the process.
