Even before the World Cup, Juventus were already struggling in their attempts to renew Adrien Rabiot’s contract due to his strong demands.
The Frenchman is one of the club’s highest earners since he landed in Turin back in 2019, collecting around 7 million euros of net salary per year.
So, after a positive World Cup campaign in which the midfielder starred as France’s lead, his late-season departure is increasingly becoming a foregone conclusion.
Les Bleus finished as runners-up to newly crowned champions Argentina, and the 27-year-old certainly attracted the interest of potential suitors.
But according to Gazzetta dello Sport via JuventusNews24, Rabiot has no intention of leaving Juventus in the middle of the season, preferring to serve out the remaining six months of his contract before embracing the free market.
So an exceptionally lucrative offer would be required to get Adrien and his mother/agent Veronique away from Turin in January.
The source adds that at least a couple of wealthy Premier League clubs are currently tracking PSG’s youth product.
As for Juventus, the verdict remains divided between the management, who want to take the last chance to sell the player before leaving for free, and Max Allegri, who wants to keep his important midfielder.
However, the club’s plans could be meaningless as the final decision apparently rests with the player and his mother, as happened last summer when they rejected his move to Manchester United.
