According to a report from Sport, Italian champions Juventus are fed up with Adrien Rabiot’s indiscipline and want to move him on this summer.
The six-time French league winning midfielder only joined the Old Lady last summer but he has failed to make a big enough impression.
Rabiot has started 16 games in all competitions this season and the report claims that he hasn’t at all impressed Maurizio Sarri.
The former PSG man is currently back in France due to the standstill in football. Juventus have allegedly been trying to reach him in order to bring him back for individual training but Rabiot hasn’t returned their calls.
This has angered the club officials who feel that getting rid of him this summer is the best option for them considering his disciplinary issues and high salary.
Premier League bound?
Still only 25, Rabiot will not be short of suitors. CalcioMercato24 claimed recently that Arsenal are interested in signing the Frenchman. Mikel Arteta is said to have spoken to him back in January and the report reveals that the Gunners are still in the hunt.
La Gazzetta Dello Sport claimed last week that Everton were also keen on signing Rabiot. The Frenchman knows Carlo Ancelotti well thanks to their time together at PSG and that relationship could help sway the deal Everton’s way.
It will be interesting to see how much Juventus will demand for Rabiot, considering the midfielder still has over three years left on his current deal.
The economic implications due to everything that has been going on in the world will impact his transfer fee but, if Juventus really want to get rid of him, they will have to be prepared to be flexible in negotiations.
