SirBalon Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 23 year old PSG central midfielder Adrien Rabiot is being heavily linked with a move to FC Barcelona. The French-Catalan footballer is adamant that he wants the move to Barcelona and due to two factors this could come to fruition. One factor is the fact Paris Saint-Germain have to deposit money into their club bank account due to the mounting issues they have with UEFA's FFP and add to this the fact Rabiot has started his final year in his current contract, then PSG who have been eternally hesitant to sell any of their stars (especially to Barça) could see their hand forced. Barcelona directors have been in constant talks with PSG's owner (Nasser Al-Khelaifi) himself and Barça have encountered a much more friendlier welcome than in the past. There is also the possibility that Rabiot could be playing the old trick of forcing a new and much more lucrative contract by using the fact he is in his final season with the possibility that PSG get nothing for his m next summer.
Azeem Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 PSG will resist this just as they resisted Verrati last season.

The thing is that they're in a very different situation now because they HAVE to sell. You can have all the money you like but when you break the rules you have to balance your books which with them they're very very unbalanced.

French Catalan? His family are are pied-noir...I thought. Barcelona should stay away. Bad egg.
El Profesor Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 The last I read about Rabiot on Paris United is from 5 days ago, but they´re the best source when it comes to anything related to PSG, so here we go. There still movement on the Rabiot front. His mom and agent, Véronique, wants him to leave because she is not convinced by PSG´s project. The player is still thinking. Their relationship with PSG sporting director Antero Henrique is not very good. Regular contacts with Abidal (Barcelona) and english clubs.

His origins are from Perpignan mate. Yeah... He's definitely got attitude issues which goes down well with many foreign players historically signed by Barça.

The bit on "We're not convinced by PSG's project" is something we've heard before not too long ago. To be honest, anything coming from PSG I take very lightly and give it no importance because they're not a serious club. If I were Barcelona, I'd keep well away from them but they seem to hit the same brick wall all the time which is now becoming hilarious.

The problem with Rabiot is not the fact he´s a PSG player, but his attitude. Adrien and Véronique Rabiot antics are even worse than Neymar Pai´s.

Neymar and his father are at a level I've personally never seen before but then again each player has a totally different status and can play with clubs in totally different ways. But indeed both Rabiot and his representative stink... I personally wouldn't want him because of that reason but this Barcelona board don't seem to learn their lessons, do they.
SirBalon Posted July 21, 2018 Author Posted July 21, 2018 According to this morning's L'Équipe the possibilities of Adrien Rabiot leaving PSG are very slim and that the club will probably offer him the contract he's been asking for so as to not lose him on a free and negotiate freely from January.
Carnivore Chris Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 I don't think this should be a priority when Aleñá will be back from injury in Autumn and it appears as though Valverde wants to use him. There are actually alot of options there now. Rakitic, Busquets, Arthur, Coutinho, Denis, Aleñá and Roberto(if used there) are all nice options and there is a variety of different types of players there. A back up left back, as Digne is crap, an attacking player who can make an impact from the bench and a substitute keeper if Cillessen leaves should be the main focus.

I was going to write more or less what you've written and I agree. There are plenty of options there and I don't understand the obsession with Rabiot, at least nowhere near as much as understanding why Barça really wanted Verratti which I did get.
Dave Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 The much-discussed future of Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot may be resolved in January as the Frenchman looks set to join Barcelona, reports Sport. Rabiot, 23, has been a key player for PSG this season but has rejected multiple offers to extend his contract from the French champions. There has been considerable interest in his signature but Barca look to have emerged as clear front-runners and will look to push the deal over the line during the winter window.
SirBalon Posted December 3, 2018 Author Posted December 3, 2018 He wants €10m a season after tax and he won’t take a cent less from the stories coming from within. What’s really upset PSG when negotiating with him and his sister (his agent) is that information has been leaked that Barça would be paying him considerably less than that.

IgnisExcubitor Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 I wonder what Juventus' wage bill is. They even offered an obscene wage to Can. And not to forget Ramsey.

SirBalon Posted June 18, 2019 Author Posted June 18, 2019 Rabiot is a top top midfielder but he carries alot of of baggage with him and has plenty of character. If Juve can control the negative sides to his personality, then they will have signed a quality player for many many years.

Have you seen what you done in two successive posts in the same thread? Why is everyone else allowed to sign but when Barça do it , it meets you're wrath?
