Juventus already brought in several reinforcements during this transfer window, the most prominent being the midfielders Douglas Luiz and Khephren Thuram. The competition for the starting lineup will be fierce, but Thiago Motta will have one less option since Adrien Rabiot decided to leave Turin after five years.❗Juventus, during Motta’s press conference, are expected to announce Adrien Rabiot’s farewell today!

Namely, the 29-year-old signed a new one-year contract with the Old Lady last June. The club offered him another extension for one year with a salary of 7 million euros and 1 million worth of add-ons. Rabiot was not satisfied with the offer, took some time to think after EURO 2024 ended, and finally decided to reject Juve’s proposal. It is assumed that the French international demands a two-million higher wage.Can “Dads’ Sons” bring the title back to Turin?Several clubs are interested in Rabiot, although his salary requirements could be problematic for some sides. So far, the English and Italian teams – specifically Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester United, Napoli, and Milan – have been in the mix. The midfielder joined Juventus in July 2019 as a free agent after spending his entire senior career at Paris Saint-Germain. He spent two seasons at the Saints’ reserve squad and one season on loan at Toulouse, though. Over five seasons at Allianz Stadium, he recorded 212 appearances, scoring 22 goals. During his spell with Juve, Rabiot won one Serie A title, two Coppa Italia trophies, and one Supercoppa Italiana.##NAJAVA_MECA_8219273##
