After Juventus’ draw in Vila-Real in the first leg of the eighth of the Champions League, the fans are in the sights Adrien Rabiot. The French midfielder first loses Parejo on the occasion of Villarreal’s equalizer, then makes a very bad entry on Chukwueze risking being sent off. The referee pardoned him, the social networks did not. Criticism after criticism for the midfielder who in his third season in Juventus has not yet managed to explode definitively.
THE BACKFRONT – In the long run, he managed to take the starting position, but since his arrival he has alternated some decisive plays with many, too many negative performances. Gone are the days when Adrien was a PSG gem ready to explode. Carlo Ancelotti made him debut among the professionals, who would have gladly taken him back when he was at Everton but nothing was done. All blocked by that 7 million euro salary, which over the years has turned the backs of all the clubs interested in the player.
THE STRATEGY – For Juve Rabiot is not an outgoing player, but if a proposal considered adequate should arrive in the summer, the Frenchman could really leave Turin. In the January transfer market Newcastle had come forward with an initial poll, but the midfielder did not even want to consider the hypothesis. The company is ready to greet him in the face of an offer of around 10/15 million euros, aware of having taken him on a free transfer and of the expiry of the contract scheduled for June 2023. Allegri has always sent him on the field as a starter in the last four games, but Rabiot’s future is still in the balance. Waiting for offers.
