Rabiot agrees Real move
Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot has reached an agreement to join Real Madrid this summer, according to reports in France.
The 24-year-old’s contract with the French champions is due to expire at the end of the season and he will leave the club on a free transfer.
Liverpool, Barcelona and Tottenham have all been linked with a move for Rabiot.
But according to Canal+, Rabiot has opted to join Madrid and is on the verge of signing a provisional agreement with Zinedine Zidane’s side.
Rabiot has not played for PSG since December following a bust-up with the club’s hierarchy during contract negotiations.
The French midfielder has subsequently been frozen out of the first team and was even banned from the club’s training ground.
Rabiot also angered PSG fans after he was spotted in a nightclub just hours after the club’s defeat to Manchester United which resulted in their elimination from the Champions League.
“Adrien is a prisoner. He is a hostage at PSG,” Veronique Rabiot, the midfielder’s mother and agent, told L’Equipe last month.
