Some thought that the arrival of Thiago Motta on the Juventus bench would allow the Old Lady to have a key asset in the Rabiot case. The two men played together under the Paris Saint-Germain jersey, but that’s where it will end. Questioned on this subject, the midfielder of the French team had also confirmed that his destiny was clearly not linked to that of the new bianconero coach.
“Thiago Motta? He’s a great coach, who did great things in Italy. I know him very well, I played 4-5 years with him. He has his career to lead, I have mine. So we’ll see.” Since then, Juve has resigned itself to seeing him leave free of any contract, even if the Piedmontese team should console itself with the probable arrival of the Nice player Khéphren Thuram. Rabiot, for his part, seems insensitive to the appeals of his ex-club (since yesterday).
After Madrid, Barcelona
It must be said that the former Parisian knows that his rating is good on the market. Announced in the sights of AC Milan, Rabiot has even seen his name mentioned on the side of Madrid where Florentino Pérez’s Real are said to have an eye on him. Qualified for the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 (which he will not be able to play due to a suspension) with France, Rabiot knows that time is on his side. His mother Véronique too.
The Catalan media Jijantes also announces that the latter has offered the services of her son to FC Barcelona! And that’s not all. Véronique Rabiot has demanded an annual net salary of €8 million from the Blaugranas. As a reminder, Rabiot earned €7 million per season in Italy and Juventus had offered to extend his contract with a salary of €7.5 million. It remains to be seen whether the Culers will have the necessary finances to consider such an operation.
