Tuttosport: Milan serious about stealing Rabiot from Juventus – Moncada’s offer | OneFootball

AC Milan are serious about signing Adrien Rabiot on a free transfer, a report claims, to the extent that they have now matched Juventus’ offer.

This morning’s edition of Tuttosport (via MilanNews) reports that Juventus and in particular their sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli have been trying for several weeks to convince Rabiot to stay but without success.

While the Bianconeri seem ready to raise the white flag and accept losing him, Milan are perched at the window and have matched their offer but with a small difference: a three-year guaranteed contract.

The proposal sent to Rabiot’s mother-agent by Juve is €7.5m for two years, plus an option for a third. Geoffrey Moncada has offered the same salary but with three years guaranteed, and even though the Growth Decree would help things it would still make him the highest-paid player.

Rabiot and his entourage are stalling but also due to of the European Championship, because the midfielder is absolutely focused on winning the tournament. Along with Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez, the Juventus man also started all three group games.

The goal is to remain focused on the competition even if Rabiot’s ears are open. Yesterday, for example, Didier Deschamps opened the French training camp to families and so Adrien met his mother Veronique who gave him the latest updates.

No decision has been made, also because his mother’s objective is to make the most of the European Championships in the hope that a top European club will come forward and offer an even higher pay packet.
