Departing Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot could be the subject of an intense transfer tug-of-war between Milan and Inter. According to Calciomercato, an off-field Derby della Madonnina is on the horizon, with the San Siro clubs vying for the Frenchman’s signature.
Milan’s interest in Rabiot is well-documented. Keen to reinforce their engine room under new manager Paulo Fonseca, they’ve identified Rabiot as an ideal cost-effective solution to address their midfield shortcomings. On top of that, they’re ready to back their interest with a tangible offer that would match Juventus’ terms.
However, Serie A champions Inter are sniffing around. Despite landing Piotr Zielinski on a Bosman deal, they remain attentive to top opportunities in the market. Rabiot is undoubtedly one. The 29-year-old has been hesitant to respond to Juventus’ extension bid despite receiving the club’s proposal weeks ago.
Rabiot’s indifferent stance has made the Juventus hierarchy furious. The Turin giants are running out of patience, even though they consider the ex-Paris Saint-Germain star vital to their project. Inter keep close tabs on the situation and could test the waters once the player returns from Euro 2024.
Inter President Beppe Marotta is well-versed in signing elite footballers without splashing out insane figures, and Rabiot fits the bill. He’s at his peak years and wouldn’t cost a dime. The France international seems likely to leave Juventus, but he might stay in Serie A.
Unlike last summer, there’s a shortage of foreign interest in Rabiot. Therefore, Inter and Milan are in pole position to capture his services if he decides to cut ties with the Bianconeri.
