The French midfielder has just eight months remaining on his deal at Paris Saint-Germain, and is widely expected to leave the club in the summer.
Munro Deportivo is reporting that the two parties have reached a deal in principle for his transfer, but the Parisians still have a chance at renewing his deal.
Rabiot is represented by his mother, who is reportedly demanding a €10m sign-on fee when her son signs his new deal.
The Mundo Deportivo report states that Rabiot and his mother are waiting for October before making a decision.

Rabiot could sign for Manchester City, the team he spent a year at as a 13-year-old (Image: GETTY)
That deal would see him officially join City in the summer of 2019.
Manchester City will be keen to get any dealings in January done quickly, having lost out on Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United in January of this year.
Rabiot was part of the Manchester City set-up as a child, spending a year at the club when he was 13, before returning to France to continue his development.
