Barcelona have decided against signing Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot, report AS.

Rabiot had been pushing for a move to the Nou Camp with his contract expiring at the end of the season.

It’s a mini-disaster for France international Rabiot, who has been sent to PSG’s reserve side and has not played since December 11.

So who are the new favourites for Rabiot’s signature?

Premier League title challengers Liverpool stand out as favourites.

French newspaper L’Equipe reported at the end of January that Rabiot is open to a move to Liverpool.

The same report said he has rejected a potential move to Tottenham.

ESPN reported earlier this season that Liverpool had been in touch with Rabiot’s representatives over a move.

The Reds added midfielders Naby Keita and Fabinho in the summer but neither have worked out successfully so far.
