Rabiot was linked with a move to Spurs back in July.

French newspaper L’Equipe have claimed that Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot has rejected the chance to renew his contract with the Ligue 1 champions, less than a month after being linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.

New PSG manager Thomas Tuchel has looked to tie the 23-year-old’s future down after breaking into the side from the club’s academy. He has less than 12 months remaining on his current deal.

SPORT claimed midway through July that Tottenham wanted to sign the France international and take advantage of his current contract situation by landing Rabiot for a cut-price fee of just £26million.

Spurs have done plenty of business with the French giants of late, buying right-back Serge Aurier from the club last summer before landing Lucas Moura for a fee in the region of £25million in January.

SPORT’s report also claims that Rabiot has attracted interest from Barcelona, as he continues to shine for his boyhood club with 208 senior appearances for PSG already under his belt.

Spurs failed to sign a single player in the summer window and will now have to wait until January if they want to sign 6ft 3in Rabiot, though they could enter negotiations for the Frenchman in order to complete a pre-agreement.

Mauricio Pochettino may find that his side need a new central midfielder, with Mousa Dembele’s contract also expiring in north London. Rabiot may become Spurs’ main target.
