Rabiot reaches agreement to join Milan after failed transfer attempt to Manchester United
Adrien Rabiot is set to join AC Milan after failed talks with Manchester United, according to reports from Fabrizio Romano. The French midfielder, currently on Olympique de Marseille’s transfer list, is expected to be officially announced by the Rossoneri before the market closes on Monday (1).
From Transfer List to San Siro
Following internal issues at Marseille, the club decided to put Rabiot up for sale this window. His representatives initially offered him to Manchester United, but the Premier League side showed no interest, leaving the player on the market.
Milan then moved swiftly, seeing Rabiot as a low-cost opportunity to strengthen their midfield. Negotiations were quickly finalized, with the Italians paying around €10 million for his transfer rights.
Milan’s Deadline-Day Reinforcement
The deal is in its final stages, with optimism from both sides that the midfielder will be officially unveiled on deadline day. The move fits Milan’s strategy of adding depth and experience, while the board continues to explore further signings before the window shuts.
A Controversial Career Path
Rabiot arrives at San Siro with a mixed reputation. The French international previously had a turbulent spell at Juventus, where he clashed with management and faced criticism from the Italian press. His time at Marseille was no different, with disciplinary issues ultimately leading to his sale.
Now, Milan hope the 29-year-old can revive his form in Serie A and provide valuable experience to a squad aiming for both domestic and European success.
