Share
Adrien Rabiot Joins Milan in a transfer that’s been in the works since late Sunday night, finally giving the Rossoneri the midfield reinforcement Max Allegri demanded. The €10 million deal, which includes bonuses, has been confirmed with Marseille, and Rabiot’s contract is now agreed upon. For fans looking for deeper insights, check out our expert Serie A Predictions to see how this signing could impact the season ahead.
- Milan agrees €10 million deal with Marseille for Adrien Rabiot
- Rabiot set to become one of the highest-paid players in the squad
- Allegri personally pushed for the French midfielder’s signing
- Rabiot expected to fit into Milan’s evolving 3-5-2 midfield setup
The French midfielder’s career has always been high-profile. After earning €7 million net per season at Juventus, it’s expected that Rabiot will command at least €5.5 million net at Milan, potentially making him the highest-paid player alongside Rafa Leao. That’s a bold move but maybe the right one for a squad looking to compete both domestically and in Europe. Can he really justify that price tag? Time will tell.
Negotiations were rapid yet intense. Allegri reportedly took the lead, insisting on three key reinforcements after Milan’s loss to Cremonese, with Rabiot topping the wishlist. His history with Allegri in Turin showed that he could combine tactical intelligence, physical presence, and goal-scoring ability effectively. The Frenchman is expected to slot into one of the two central midfield positions in Milan’s emerging 3-5-2 formation, likely partnering with either Loftus-Cheek or Fofana, while Modric, Jashari, and Ricci compete for the playmaker role.
Even so, it’s hard to say how Rabiot will adapt immediately. Milan’s midfield is crowded, and expectations are sky-high. Still, his versatility and experience in top European competitions could make a significant difference. Fans will be watching closely as the midfielder prepares for medicals and final contract signing, hoping he delivers the blend of creativity and grit Allegri is counting on.
Ultimately, this deal signals Milan’s intent to challenge at the top of Serie A. With Rabiot joining the ranks, the Rossoneri midfield now boasts both depth and quality. It remains to be seen whether he can fully meet expectations, but for those following our Serie A Predictions, this signing could be a game-changer in the months ahead.
