Real Madrid and AC Milan ready to snap up Adrien Rabiot in free transfer as midfielder leaves Juventus after rejecting contract offer

Rabiot's time at Juventus is up after the French star rejected a new two-year contract worth €7.5 million (£6.3m/$8.1m) plus bonuses per season, according to <a href="https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Calciomercato/Juventus/18-07-2024/juve-rabiot-addio-occhio-al-milan-e-al-real.shtml" target="_blank">La Gazzetta dello Sport</a>. The midfielder will leave on a free transfer and looks to have plenty of options when it comes to where he will be playing his football next season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Madrid could move for Rabiot in a deal which would see the midfielder link up with Carlo Ancelotti once again. The Italian boss handed Rabiot his debut when the two worked together previously at PSG and Madrid are believed to be an option. Yet Rabiot could also stay in Italy. Milan have been in touch with his mother Veronique, who also acts as his agent, but may struggle to afford his wages.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Technical director Cristiano Giuntoli confirmed Rabiot's departure at a press conference to unveil new manager Thiago Motta. He said: "I also want to thank Rabiot. Rabiot's contract has expired. We wish him a happy future, professional and otherwise."

WHAT JUVENTUS SAID

Juventus have already moved to shake up their midfield by <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/alisha-lehmann-juventus-douglas-luiz-signing-aston-villa/blt3ba679a6414ba0ff" target="_blank">signing Douglas Luiz</a> and Khephren Thuram before waving goodbye to Rabiot. The Frenchman has been busy with Les Bleus at Euro 2024, helping the side to the semi-finals, but is now free to decide on his next move ahead of the start of the upcoming campaign.
