It is a milestone and not the most reassuring that was crossed this Tuesday evening. Not embarrassed by the successive closures of the football markets since free of any commitment and therefore available at any time for clubs lacking talent, Adrien Rabiot nevertheless saw a door close this day. And not the least.
According to UEFA regulations, clubs involved in the Champions League this season had to send the list of their players qualified for the competition before midnight on September 3. Two weeks before the curtain rises. However, Adrien Rabiot, at this time, has not found his boots on his feet.
AC Milan dismissed
Even recently, he and his advisor mother Véronique preferred to leave closed two doors that were nevertheless tempting: two exits leading to Juventus, the club whose colours he has defended for the last five years, and to AC Milan, which according to the Italian press was ready to build him a golden bridge to seduce him.
While he dreams of the Premier League, the 29-year-old French international remains desperately free at this time, and it’s quite a surprise. The Champions League, after two seasons of withdrawal with the Bianconeri, was supposed to be a sine qua non condition for his commitment; if he finds a club in the coming weeks, the former Parisian will have to do without. A strange waste a priori.
