PSG’s Ligue 1 champion Adrien Rabiot should start against Liverpool in this week’s Champions League opener at Anfield.
There could be an interesting subplot in play as Liverpool welcome Paris Saint-Germain to Anfield for their Champions League opener this week.
Adrien Rabiot is expected to line up for the visitors in midfield amid ongoing speculation linking him with a move to Merseyside in the New Year. So Liverpool have the perfect opportunity to scout one of their most ambitious transfer targets first hand.
It is common knowledge that Rabiot’s contract at PSG expires next summer and the current Ligue 1 champions have been unable to tie him down to a long-term deal just yet, with signs suggesting the Frenchman wants a fresh start.
Liverpool would provide exactly that. ESPN claimed at the start of September that Jurgen Klopp had called Rabiot to discuss a potential move to the North West of England, while the Reds are understood to have made contact with the midfielder’s mother and agent.
Should Rabiot impress at Anfield, showcasing the unique skill set that makes him one of the most complete midfielders anywhere in Europe right now, that should only enhance Klopp’s desire to sign him either in January or on a free next summer.
Liverpool fans should keep their eyes peeled. Because they could get a glimpse of their next superstar signing this week.
