It had already happened ten days ago but yesterday, Madame Veronique Rabiot initiated a fresh direct contact with Napoli, trying to understand the feasibility of the deal to sign her son Adrien Rabiot.
However, Napoli, who were albeit very interested in the French central midfielder, deemed it appropriate not to push forward – especially after the costly operation to sign Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United.
Now it depends above all on Milan. We do not rule out sensational twists at Paris Saint-Germain but at least, for the moment, it depends only on Milan to satisfy Massimiliano Allegri’s request. And the talks are ongoing.

Rabiot only signed for Marseille in 2024, joining the Ligue 1 side after his contract with Juventus expired. The Frenchman spent five years at the Bianconeri, playing 212 times in all competitions for the Old Lady. For Marseille, the former PSG man played 32 times and scored ten goals in all competitions.
