Adrien Rabiot has been linked with European bigwigs like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Arsenal and Liverpool in recent weeks.
Adrien Rabiot is currently a free agent, and his agents are in talks with Barcelona, Real Madrid, Arsenal and Liverpool regarding a potential move. The Frenchman has been linked with Manchester United as well, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
According to Caught Offside, the 29-year-old French international has yet to decide where he wants to play his football next season. Barcelona could certainly use a quality midfield controller like him.
The 29-year-old will add control, composure and physicality to their midfield. Signing a player of his quality on a free transfer would represent an excellent bargain for the Spanish club. Barcelona are already going through financial difficulties, and they must do everything in their power to snap up bargains like Rabiot.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid need more quality and depth in the midfield as well. Toni Kroos has decided to hang up his boots, and the former German international will need to be replaced adequately. Rabiot has the quality and the experience to fill the void, thus explaining their interest.
Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United want Rabiot
At Arsenal, he could be the ideal long-term replacement for Jorginho, who is in the twilight stages of his career. Thomas Partey is expected to move on as well. Rabiot could form a quality partnership with Declan Rice. Meanwhile, Liverpool parted ways with Thiago Alcantara earlier this summer, and they need to replace the Spaniard. Rabiot seems like the ideal acquisition for them.
All four clubs will be hoping to get the deal done this summer, and it remains to be seen where the player ends up. The fact that he is available for a free transfer makes him a lucrative option for most clubs.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are targeting a move for him as well, and it will be interesting to see if they can bring him in before the transfer window closes. The Red Devils need a quality partner for Kobbie Mainoo, and Rabiot could be the perfect foil for the English youngster with his quality and experience.
