“I don’t know what to say. I didn’t talk about the transfer market with Longoria and Benatia. I was just thinking about preparing for the match,” he said.
Agreement reached
In case you missed it, Rabiot to Milan has already been given the ‘here we go’ stamp by Fabrizio Romano. An operation worth €10m including bonuses is believed to have been agreed between the two sides.
For the Frenchman it will mean reuniting with Massimiliano Allegri, a coach that he knows well from their time together at Juventus. For the Rossoneri, it will mean securing a replacement for Yunus Musah, who is on the verge of joining Atalanta.
Last season, Rabiot amassed nine goals and four assists in Ligue 1 as Marseille finished second in the table to secure a return to the Champions League. However, they transfer listed him after an argument involving Jon Rowe, so Milan were able to swoop late.
now his first match going to be vs rowe . i didnt like this transfer , esp the 4 year contract. and probably allegri will get sacked next summer because thats just how our managemnt is . im giving this mercato a 4/10. late panick buys , tiji sold for cheap , theo looks better than estupinian , and btw , if we go for vlahovic who would be 6m euros? why not just renew theo for 7 m euros lol , his a massive player amongs the fans , even if he costed us the ucl and several points…
That is a funny coincidence 😀
Now they have the funds to improve their bid for Bennacer 😂
That won’t happen. Milan paid up to 10M for Rabiot, they probably won’t offer over 3M for Bennacer. Realistic. But loan is quite possible.
I think the club is keeping quiet because they have some offers still available from the Saudi market and with no other options in place after Europe closes today, both Benni and Adli may have their only opportunities there.
They reported Bennacer has offer from Trabzonspor. Their transfer windows ends in like 2 weeks. So if nothing happens today he can go there. Or Saudi clubs.
Rabiot amassed 9 goals last season? LOL. He scored more goals than GOAT-Musah will score during his entire career. We’re soooooooooooooooooooooo going to miss the almighty Musah with all his endless potential – and goal scoring skills. 🙂
Cut him some slack, he joined 20yo. They literally abused him all over the field to cover gaps in the first team squad. He changed 3-4 coaches (don’t even try to keep track anymore). He had some terrible matches, but is still very young and wasn’t given a consistent position in the team. Chances are he’s not gonna be a great player, but still many coaches see potential in him (judging by the market). Wrong time, wrong place for him to develop. Good luck in Atalanta.
Cut him some slack? LOL. He had 2 years to show what he can do. He only showed what he can’t do.
They literally abused him all over the field? LITERALLY? ABUSED???!!! 😀 😀 😀 😀
Giving him chances after chances with his displays is LITERALLY ABUSING him??? Sure, sure. The only ones who were abused were the fans for having to endure his shtty performances week after week without seeing anything positive ever.
this might turn to be a good signing, especially since the mister already knows rabiot.. whatever has happened let’s enjoy and support for this season.
