Tottenham Hotspur are long-term admirers of the PSG ace, according to reports.
According to a report from Italian media outlet Premium Sport, Paris Saint-Germain will demand €50 million (£43.8 million) for Adrien Rabiot this summer, and that will surely end Tottenham’s hopes of signing the Frenchman.
Spurs have been long-term admirers of the 23-year-old, according to Italian publication Tutto Mercato Web, and tried to bring him to north London last summer, unsuccessfully.
Rabiot began his career at the Parc des Princes, and has gone on to chalk up 22 goals and 15 assists in 207 appearances in all competitions for the French giants.

For someone so young, he is already extensively experienced, and he will undoubtedly prove to be a magnificent signing for whichever club wins the race for his signature.
Tottenham appear to have been ruled out of the running , however, with Premium Sport reporting that PSG value Rabiot at £43.8 million.
Considering the fact that Spurs do not want to pay more than £20 million to secure the services of Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish, it is highly unlikely that they will be prepared to pay more than double that for the six-capped France international.
Mauricio Pochettino absolutely must improve his options this summer, but it looks like Rabiot will not be one of the new arrivals in north London.
