AC Milan have asked for information regarding the potential costs of signing Adrien Rabiot on a free transfer, according to a report.
MilanNews reports that in addition to signing a striker (which looks more and more likely to be Joshua Zirkzee), Milan will also have to strengthen their midfield and they are planning to sign someone with more of a physical presence.
Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana is certainly on Geoffrey Moncada’s list, but Milan recently also obtained information on the costs of a potential Rabiot operation. The Frenchman, 29 years old, has not yet accepted Juventus’ renewal proposal and his contract is expiring.
Juve are trying to convince him, but in the meantime his management have taken their time and are looking around. He is admired in the Premier League and also by Milan, who have enquired about the wage demands.
Those demands are currently very high, but the report adds that it is an idea that could develop more in the coming days, especially given that he would arrive without a transfer fee being necessary and that lowers the overall cost.
Rabiot has played 212 times for Juventus across all competitions, scoring 22 goals and adding 15 assists, becoming a mainstay of their midfield over the past few seasons.
I don’t know if the drama with him and his mother still persists, but I’d like us to avoid him at all cost.
I have a Juventus die hard fan friend telling me two days ago that his mom is still a problem when money is involved. I don’t believe it anyway, he’s going to ask for a lot of money that we’re not willing to spend on top players.
PSG had to banish him from training because his mother was always interfering about selection. We should avoid him at all cost he is bad for the dressing room. Always having issues with money and contract.
No way. Anyone but any of their players
Excellent player, despite the drama, but not a role we need at the moment unless we’re planning on Reijnders and Bennacer moving on for some reason.
Disagree. This is exactly the kind of player we need. Physicality, speed, and great tactically. But whether that is Rabiot, I am not certain about. History tells a different story. But this is exactly the kind of midfielder we are lacking.
If his demand is too high for Juve, then surely it means it is even way higher than Milan’s maximum standard (salary cap).
Sign a fkin CDM
Interesting.. A free transfer always makes someone more intriguing. Tbh I like him since his PSG days. But isn’t his wage simply too high for us?
And then he said he has 7m € per year at juventus and furlani run away…
Would take him if the price is right
By far Rabiot is the best midfielder at Juventus. Yea, currently that does not means a lot, but still the guy is a good player. However, I wonder about how much will cost the transfer with his greedy mother. And of course the fact that if he will fit in our system
