Adrien Rabiot Decides On Next Career Move
By Nigel Philips
Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot will reportedly choose a move to the Spanish LaLiga over the Premier League as the French player prefers joining Real Madrid to his English suitors.
Rabiot has been ostracised from the PSG squad, since early this year, over his refusal to renew a contract extension document that was presented to him by the club.
The French international has been linked with a move to Liverpool and Manchester United, while Chelsea and Tottenham are also said to be keen.
But, Spanish tabloid El Chiringuito reports the 23-year-old fancies joining compatriot, Zinedine Zidane, at Real Madrid where he could be part of the latter’s rebuilding of the European Champions.
Rabiot has not featured for the French champions since the start of December and looks unlikely to sign a new deal before his current terms expire this summer.
Zidane, who is allegedly looking to sign a midfielder and long-term replacement for Luka Modric, could take advantage of the situation with Rabiot coming as a cheaper option than Manchester United’s Paul Pogba.
Zidane is said to be keen on Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic and would press for the Bosnian player if the deal for Rabiot fails.
