Juventus officialized the end of the negotiation to bring back Adrien Rabiot on Thursday. There’s not a clear favorite to sign him at this stage. His mother and agent Veronique would like to bring him to the Premier League or Real Madrid, Calciomercato informs.
The final offer by the Bianconeri amounted to €7M annually for the next two years plus €1M add-on. In addition, he would have become the next captain after Danilo. They hoped for an answer before Euro 2024. That didn’t happen, and the midfielder eventually declined it.
Veronique Rabiot has reached out to Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal, while, despite her wishes, there are no ongoing talks with Los Blancos. The Red Devils almost signed him two years ago, but the deal collapsed late due to his requests.
Two Serie A sides poked around: Napoli and Milan. However, the Frenchman wants to play in the Champions League, so the Partenopei aren’t really in the running at this stage.
Instead, the Rossoneri believe to be competitive even though they have a different offer in mind. They don’t want to match his previous salary, but they can propose about €5.5M in a longer contract, four or five years.
Our Take on Rabiot
Juventus probably had more than a hint in previous months given how quickly they moved for two quality midfielders. Considering the figures, it’d be a major surprise if he stayed in Serie A, but it wouldn’t be his first late U-turn. It wouldn’t be shocking if he ended up in Saudi Arabia.
