A few days ago, we revealed that after several weeks of reflection, Adrien Rabiot had made the decision to leave Juventus. Free since July 1, he has therefore decided not to extend his contract. A decision since made official by Juventus and its technical director Cristiano Giuntoli. “We want to form a competitive team with an eye on the accounts, there will be other developments for that. We would like to strengthen the team with one more player per sector, and that’s it. I would also like to thank Adrien Rabiot, his contract is over and we wish him a great professional and personal future”he said at a press conference.
At 29 years old and after leaving PSG for free a few years ago, Adrien Rabiot still has the choice to join the club he wants. And inevitably, a profile as experienced as his for €0 (not counting his salary of course) is coveted. In today’s edition, The Gazzetta Dello Sport made some juicy revelations on this file, starting with the offer from Juve that the French international (4 caps) refused. He decided to reject a 2-year extension with a salary of 7.5 million per year, not including bonuses, and an automatic extension of an additional year depending on the number of matches. Enough to give an indication of his salary demands for his future club.
Carlo Ancelotti, a central element
Precisely, for several weeks, the European press has agreed to say that Adrien Rabiot is coveted by the biggest European clubs. And according to the information from the newspaper with the pink paper, Real Madrid is a club well placed in this case because it has a strong argument: Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian coach launched Adrien Rabiot at his debut at PSG and the two men have an excellent relationship. And this could well weigh in the balance for the Frenchman, who greatly appreciates the Madrid club.
But if he has always proclaimed his love for the Premier League, Adrien Rabiot is also popular in Serie A. If he left Juventus, the 29-year-old midfielder could just as well stay in Italy since AC Milan is very interested. Better still, the Italian management is already talking to the mother, Véronique Rabiot, and has inquired about the salary desired by the player. To convince him, knowing that Rafael Leao is around 6.5 million per year, Milan will have to make an exception for Rabiot. The fight therefore continues between the European giants for one of the very good deals on the summer transfer window…
