Sooner or later, Adrien Rabiot is destined to leave Juventus. The midfielder is already one of the club’s top earners (with a net salary of €7 million per season), and to renew his expiring contract, he and his mother/agent Veronique are asking for an annual salary of €10 million. .
So the writing is on the wall for the World Cup finalist likely to sign with a Premier League side who can afford to meet his personal terms. The Bianconeri would consider a reduced-price sale in January, but a summer exit remains the most likely scenario.
But according to Gazzetta dello Sport via Calciomercato, Juventus still intend to replace Rabiot with their longtime transfer target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
The Bianconeri have been obsessed with the Lazio star, who has been one of the best midfielders in Serie A in recent seasons.
The source understands that the Old Lady is closely monitoring the situation in the Italian capital. If the Biancoceleste fail to put the Serb’s signature on a new contract, then a summer sale will become increasingly likely.
Thus, Juventus would have allocated a transfer kit worth 40 million for the 27-year-old, plus a salary of 6 million euros. But will it be enough to convince Lazio president Claudio Lotito to part with his most prized asset?
The answer remains unclear at this point, but the source is certain that Juventus will have a great chance of achieving their coveted goal as long as they do not renew their contract (which expires in 2024) with their current employers.
