Adrien Rabiot (born 3 April 1995) is a French footballer who plays for Paris Saint-Germain F.C. in Ligue 1, as a central midfielder.

Rabiot is a French youth international, having represented his nation up to under-21 level.

Club career

Rabiot was born in Saint-Maurice, Val-de-Marne, and played youth football for several teams, including three spells at US Créteil-Lusitanos and a few months at Manchester City. On 2 July 2012, after excelling at the Camp des Loges, he signed his first professional contract agreeing to a three-year deal with Paris Saint-Germain FC.[1]

Rabiot was promoted to the senior team by manager Carlo Ancelotti ahead of the 2012–13 season. In the club's pre-season he started in the penalty shootout defeat to FC Barcelona, and, on 26 August, played his first game in Ligue 1, a 0–0 home draw against FC Girondins de Bordeaux.

Rabiot made his UEFA Champions League debut on 6 November 2012, playing injury in a 4–0 group stage home win over GNK Dinamo Zagreb. In January of the following year he was loaned to fellow top-divisioner Toulouse FC, scoring his first professional goal on 9 March 2013 which was the game's only at Stade Brestois 29, from 25 yards.

International career

On 13 August 2013, aged just 18, Rabiot made his first appearance for the French under-21 team, starting in a 0–0 friendly draw with Germany in Freiburg.

What are the chances of actually landing Rabiot? This would be a stellar move if Marotta could pull it off.

 

[Mark]

He's got the same agent as Pato. Maybe it's a 2 for 1 deal à la Raiola.

I think there's a good chance to land him next season if he doesn't re-sign there. He's good friends with Coman.

Roma also want him.

Eventually, PSG would have to stop the bleeding, wouldn't they?

Losing Coman is one thing, and I'm sure they are none too pleased about that, but to potentially lose Rabiot as well?

Would they have ANY home grown talent for CL roster purposes?

 

[alexjuventino]

So these links to Pato are serious or are they just made up because of the same agents?

 

[Byrone]

Excellent but it's a long time between now & next season. Hopefully Coman & Pogba add some serious French peer pressure.

Their oil money mentality means they just fill out any weak positions with ready made stars, so they probably don't give two shits about losing players who they may or may not want to use in half a decade. As long as they meet the bare minimum requirements for homegrown players, they will be unlikely to care about where their youth players wind up.

They'd have to put 23 names instead of 25 if they have a 3rd keeper that's HG and Ongenda for example.

But that's just it. Who would they even have left that is home grown and something worth more than just a name to fill a UEFA mandated roster spot?

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

No idea, but even if their homegrown players are useless they'll fulfil their 'purpose' of letting PSG compete in Europe. Beyond that, they're probably not looking to develop players at all as they can just buy the finished product every Summer.

 

[Martin]

So all of them play for PSG? Are they undergoing some kind of Santos period or what?

 

[adRHCP]

You make me so happy, Mark

 

[Dostoevsky]

Excellent but it's a long time between now & next season. Hopefully Coman & Pogba add some serious French peer pressure.

If we do sign Rabiot, it's surely gonna be for free (next season). Otherwise, no chance in hell

Speaking about Raiola, what's up with Abate?

So why is this thread opened now, then? Mark got bored again?!

He wants to open all so later on if deals goes through he can say I knew it.

I hope nothing.

So why is this thread opened now, then? Mark got bored again?!

I open it because the rumours started.

[Fr3sh]

Now we should seriously try to get the funds out of Marchisio.
