Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp reportedly wants to bring PSG’s Ligue 1 champion Adrien Rabiot to the Premier League.
Adrien Rabiot has just got even more tempting for Liverpool.
The Sun stated last week that Jurgen Klopp has drawn up plans to sign Paris Saint Germain’s brilliant young midfielder on a free transfer when his contract runs out next summer.
The 23-year-old is one of the most talented young footballers in all of Europe and has some of the biggest clubs around scrambling for his services. Whoever wins Rabiot’s signature will be pulling off one of the most impressive free transfer coups in recent history.
Calciomercato claim that Barcelona, Juventus and Atletico Madrid are also interested.
And the report adds that Rabiot is demanding a wage of five million euros a season – which works out at around £85,000 a week. Now, that is hardly a huge sum in today’s game and would make Rabiot only the thirteenth highest earner at Anfield, according to financial figures provided by Spotrac.
Rabiot on a free, plus wages lower than those taken home by Xherdan Shaqiri and James Milner, looks like remarkably good business on paper.
Especially as Rabiot is the sort of signing that could transform Liverpool from likeable nearly men into contenders for the biggest prizes both at home and abroad.
