Recently, the future of Adrien Rabiot has become a topic of great debate. Since returning from injury earlier in the season, the Frenchman has been in fine form.
It would appear that the former PSG man is finally starting to show some of his early career promise.
Unfortunately for Juventus, this step forward comes at a time when the midfielder has a contract to run.
While management is reportedly looking to extend their deal beyond the current campaign, other suitors will be looking to seize the opportunity.
According to The Sun via TuttoJuve, Chelsea will try to sign Rabiot in January by offering Juventus the services of Hakim Ziyech in return.
For his part, the Moroccan has been unable to find his footing since making the move to Stamford Bridge in 2020.
This season, the winger has only made three Premier League appearances for the Blues and two in the Champions League, and has yet to score a goal.
The former Ajax star is now 29 years old and his contract with Chelsea runs until 2025.
Juve FC says
This rumored exchange certainly has its pros and cons. On the plus side, Juventus will be guaranteed to get something in return for a player who may end up walking out for free at the end of the season.
On the other hand, Ziyech certainly possesses brilliant ball skills, but he has been acting as a bench warmer for more than two years, so one might wonder if he can still resurrect his playing career.
