Adrien Rabiot remains a free agent after leaving Juventus. The club couldn’t agree on a new contract because of his high wage demands.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, negotiating with Rabiot’s mother and agent, Veronique, is always challenging, and this is the first time she’s faced a situation like this. The primary issue is that the family is typically unwilling to accept any pay cuts.
Reports suggest that Rabiot wasn’t interested in remaining at Juventus, even though the club offered him the same salary as his previous contract and the possibility of succeeding Danilo as captain.
The midfielder has long aspired to play in England and compete in the Champions League. Recently, clubs such as Liverpool and Atletico Madrid have shown interest, but his high salary demands deterred Serie A teams. Additionally, he preferred something other than joining Milan.
Galatasaray also decided to withdraw from pursuing him because his wage demands were too high.
The French midfielder is currently on vacation and not in any rush to make a decision about his next move.
Rabiot Set for Ronaldo Reunion as Al-Nassr Offers €20m Contract
Adrien Rabiot, the ex-Juventus midfielder, is set for a reunion with his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo. According to reports on Wednesday, Al-Nassr from the Saudi Pro League is reportedly preparing a €20 million-per-season contract offer for the free agent.
Rabiot in Demand in Saudi Arabia
Rabiot has been a free agent since his Juventus contract ended in late June.
As the transfer window was closing, reports indicated that Milan was interested in signing Rabiot. However, this would have required them to offload some of their own players first. Ultimately, the Rossoneri were unable to complete the move.
Instead, Wednesday’s report reveals that Al-Nassr is getting ready to extend a contract offer to Rabiot and his mother/agent, Veronique. The deal is expected to be worth €20 million per season, reflecting the club’s serious interest in securing his services.
Similar to Milan, Al-Nassr might need to offload one of its existing players before finalizing the deal. This is because it has already filled all eight slots available for foreign players in its squad.
Corriere dello Sport suggests that Al-Nassr may explore the possibility of obtaining an exemption from the Saudi Pro League regulations. This would allow them to include Rabiot in their squad, even though they have already filled the maximum number of foreign player slots.
