Adrien Rabiot’s future is up in the air. Just one year after his return to Italy, this time to wear the AC Milan jersey, the former Juventus player finds himself in full doubt as to the course of his career. If the summer will certainly be difficult – with a World Cup to compete with the Blues – the start of the school year promises to be very uncertain for his club.
La Gazzetta dello Sport this week focuses on behind the scenes of the Rossoneri and the picture is not necessarily encouraging. The reason is the current dynamic of the Milanese (only four points taken in the last five days), third in Serie A but under direct threat from Juve, Roma and even Como in the race for the Champions League.
The Italian publication insists on the prospect of a failed C1, which would constitute a real catastrophe for the Lombards. With its share of undesirable consequences. Coach Massimiliano Allegri would be the first to pay the price. Like many of his locker room protégés.
Rabiot considered too close to Allegri
Adrien Rabiot and Luka Modric are notably cited among the elements likely to undergo forced offloading in the event of AC Milan’s absence in the Champions League next season. The first being a close friend of the former Bianconero coach, at the origin of his return to the transalpine elite. The second being in the middle of negotiating a potential extension.
Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic or even Mike Maignan, they too could be affected by this possible sporting failure in order to reduce the club’s payroll. La Gazzetta dello Sport predicts an austerity cure for AC Milan in the event of a European disaster scenario. And the abandonment of recently mentioned avenues such as those leading to Robert Lewandowski, Gabriel Jesus or Romelu Lukaku.
