Following Marc Bernal’s ACL injury, which has ruled him out for the entire season, Barcelona quickly turned their attention to Adrien Rabiot as a possible replacement. The French midfielder emerged as a potential stopgap solution for the defensive midfield role that the club urgently needs to fill.
Although coach Hansi Flick reportedly intends to rely on Marc Casado to step in for Bernal, an experienced player like Rabiot could offer valuable depth to the squad.
AC Milan Set to Challenge Barcelona for Rabiot
However, Barcelona faces strong competition from AC Milan in the pursuit of Adrien Rabiot this summer. According to reports from Fichajes, AC Milan has made a lucrative four-year offer to Rabiot, promising an annual salary of €6 million.
Given Barcelona’s ongoing financial struggles, Milan’s offer could give the Rossoneri a significant advantage in securing Rabiot’s signature. The Frenchman, currently a free agent after leaving Juventus, has attracted interest from several top European clubs, including Barcelona, due to his extensive experience in France, Italy, and England.
Nevertheless, Barcelona has faced difficulties registering new players due to their financial constraints, making it challenging, if not impossible, to accommodate Rabiot’s salary demands.
As a result, it appears increasingly likely that Rabiot could opt for a move to Milan this summer, as he seeks the next step in his career. Meanwhile, Barcelona may need to explore other options for the defensive midfield role, with in-house candidates like Pau Prim or Marc Casado currently the most viable alternatives.
