Adrien Rabiot to join Juventus on free transfer


Juventus have reached an agreement with French midfielder Adrien Rabiot on a multi-year contract, Goal can confirm.

Available on free transfer after refusing to sign a new deal with Paris Saint-Germain, Rabiot is set to sign a five-year contract with the Serie A champions, which will net him €7 million (£6m/$8m) per season.

Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici flew to Paris on Friday in order to close negotiations and a framework has been reached.

An official confirmation of the deal could be announced as early as in the coming hours.

The deal means the 24-year-old Rabiot will bring to a close a nine-year affiliation with the Ligue 1 champions, having joined their youth side in 2010.

A possible move to Barcelona had been rumoured, with reported interest also suggesting Manchester United, Tottenham and Liverpool were destinations.

But instead he will head to Turin where he becomes the latest star to join the Bianconeri on free transfer.
