Rabiot wrestles with Juventus as Bayern Munich watch on

Adrien Rabiot’s mother and agent Veronique met with Juventus on the weekend to try and take stock of the midfielder’s contract talks amidst interest from Bayern Munich.

The 29-year-old Frenchman kept things tense in Turin last year as his contract started to tick down, only putting pen to paper on a new one-year deal on June 27, just three days before he was able to leave as a free agent.

Rabiot only signed a one-year renewal with Juventus worth €7.5m net per season, a salary the club aren’t keen to continue meeting for the long-term. With just over two months left on his contract, a decision needs to be made soon.

Rabiot situation

Page seven of today’s Gazzetta dello Sport details how Veronique Rabiot met with Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli on Saturday, ahead of the Serie A clash with Milan, to continue discussions regarding a possible contract.

The Old Lady haven’t presented a concrete offer to the Frenchman and expect the player to take the first step in the talks. Whilst the club don’t want to pay his €7.5m for years to come, he isn’t interested in another short-term deal.

For now, everything is on standby, and Bayern Munich are keeping a close eye on the situation, interested in making a move on a free transfer in the summer.
