There have been plenty of fears about Rabiot heading into this summer, especially after Allegri was fired. Indeed, the Frenchman has been his long-standing Mr. Reliable, so it seemed Napoli would make a chase for him.
However, it seems that may not be the case this summer, much to Milan’s delight.
Rabiot off the table for now
According to Sky Sport, via MilanPress, Aurelio De Laurentiis and Giovanni Manna are considering whether a luxury midfielder is affordable, considering their desire for a top-tier central defender – hence the links to Mario Gila.
It would make sense for the interest to be revived when Allegri arrives, but right now, it would not seem like there will be a drive to do so. Especially not whilst there are other things to think of.
From a Rossoneri perspective, too, Rabiot is perfectly happy to stay at the club. Only an ‘exceptional offer’ would make him consider an exit and right now, none are on the table and he will not push for one to arrive.
In other words, Ruben Amorim can happily look at the Frenchman as an option for next season as it stands.
