Free of any contract at the end of the month, Adrien Rabiot (29 years old) continues to maintain the suspense concerning his future. Clearly, despite the arrival in Piedmont of Thiago Motta, who he rubbed shoulders with at PSG, the French international has not yet agreed to extend with Juventus. “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. What he did with Bologna is very good work. For Juventus it’s a very good choice.”the French midfielder recently declared at a press conference.
As a reminder, Rabiot currently earns €7 million per year. Juventus offered him a two-year extension with an optional third year. And for the salary, the Old Lady is ready to slightly increase the Frenchman’s emoluments (€7.5 million/year). Announced in the sights of several English clubs and Atlético Madrid, Rabiot finds himself in the strong position he wanted by only extending for one year during the summer of 2023. A situation that is not easy for the Bianconeri.
Madrid ready to seize the opportunity
AS and the Sports Gazette also tell us that the Turin leaders risk making a poor showing if the following rumor is confirmed. The two dailies explain that Real Madrid is studying this file. The Merengues have lost Toni Kroos, but they still have a midfield full of great players (Modric, Valverde, Camavinga, Tchouaméni). However, AS explains that Rabiot falls into the box of opportunities to seize.
Understand: for the Casa Blanca, the abundance of goods does not hurt and if they want to recover a Rabiot without paying a single cent to Juventus, they will not deprive themselves of doing so. Moreover, the Frenchman’s performance against Austria last Monday must have reassured more than one person about his level after a month of inactivity. La Gazzetta finally specifies that Juve is getting used to the idea of a paying offensive from Real and would be scrutinizing Khephren Thuram (Nice). To be continued.
