Free of any contract, Adrien Rabiot could join a surprising destination this summer.
The transfer market officially closed its doors last Friday. But the summer window remains open for players without a contract this summer. Several French internationals find themselves in this situation, such as Adrien Rabiot, who is still waiting to find a new place to land. Highly sought after on the market, the French midfielder could join an unexpected destination in the coming days.
Adrien Rabiot is still in demand on the transfer market
It’s been a very eventful summer for the French team and its players. Several blues have changed their jersey during this summer transfer window, like Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid), Olivier Giroud (Los Angeles FC) and Youssouf Fofana (AC Milan). In addition to these, Khéphren Thuram, Jean-Clair Todibo and Michael Olise have joined Juventus Turin, West Ham and Bayern Munich respectively.

However, some of their compatriots have still not found a place to land. These include Anthony Martial and Adrien Rabiot, free since their respective departures from Juventus and Manchester United. If the first is heading towards a return to Ligue 1 with an interest from Lille, the second, for his part, could join an unexpected team.
Adrien Rabiot courted by Galatasaray
Having reached the end of his contract with Juventus this summer, Adrien Rabiot has still not made a decision about his future. While the transfer window ended two days ago, the Galatasaray track has opened up in recent hours. Nicolo Schira revealed, in fact, this Sunday that the Turkish club has approached the French international and would even be in pole position to enlist him this summer. However, the file has some hiccups with Adrien Rabiot who is not very excited by the idea of joining Turkey.
The player particularly favors experience in the Premier League and has reportedly been approached by clubs such as Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle and Manchester United. But all his offers have been dampened by the financial demands of the former PSG player, as well as those of AC Milan, while he rejected a proposal from Saudi Arabia. Unless the Galatasaray track comes to fruition, it is difficult to say where Adrien Rabiot will play this season.
