What is Adrien Rabiot playing?

The days go by, the rumors fly, the questions remain, but the situation remains the same: on this September 9, 2024, the day after Saint Adrien’s Day, Rabiot still hasn’t found the right shoe for him. Free of any contract since his departure from Juventus Turin last June after five years of good and loyal service, the French midfielder, author of a convincing Euro 2024, has not lacked covetousness for several months. From Galatasaray to Liverpool via Manchester United, Atlético de Madrid, AC Milan, Real Madrid and Al-Nassr, many clubs have expressed their interest. In vain.

Several offers refused…

After having refused the advances of the various European big names, the French international (48 caps, 4 goals) has also not followed up on the golden bridge offered by Saudi Arabia, namely an annual net salary of 20 million euros. On the sidelines, the native of Saint-Maurice (Val-de-Marne), has, moreover, regularly been mentioned on the side of FC Barcelona, ​​seduced by the idea of ​​recovering an experienced profile at a lower cost. However, the Culers will not have an easy task either, especially considering the financial demands of the former PSG player.

This weekend, World Sports specified, in this regard, that if the interested party did not want to go into exile in the Gulf, two clubs – one in the Premier League, the other in Serie A – would, today, be willing to relaunch the 1m88 left-hander. Enough to put an end to this interminable saga? For the moment, it is difficult to say. Author of 31 matches for 5 goals and 3 assists with Juve last season, the 29-year-old player has still not accepted the slightest offer. A real enigma for many observers and a strategy that is difficult to understand in view of the possible consequences to come.

A fragile future in Blue?

“Adrien, it’s an embarrassing situation. I say this because he had the choice at the end of the contract. He was approached by several teams and for the moment, he hasn’t decided. I hope he will quickly choose a club that can bring him back with us.”Didier Deschamps acknowledged in this regard a few hours before facing Italy in the Nations League. Not called up for the September gathering with the Blues, Rabiot is, in fact, losing big. If he is currently paying for his status as a free agent, the former Parisian could, moreover, see his upcoming season disrupted by this very late choice.

Thus, in the event of his arrival at a European club – a wish expressed by the person concerned – Rabiot would also be deprived of the Champions League. The lists of the various clubs involved have already been sent to UEFA. “I’m not in a hurry to make a decision. I’ll have to think carefully because I’m also reaching an important age in my career, I feel good. I feel in full possession of my faculties and it will be important to make the right choice.”had, for his part, assured the French midfielder during the summer. There is no doubt that since this exit, things have changed greatly and that the pressure is now felt more than ever.
