The Rabio conundrum: Juventus are trying to extend him without breaking the rules

The renewal of Adrien Rabiot’s contract with Juventus is still pending. The club could still benefit from the advantages of recently introduced tax rules in Italy. The midfielder and his mother, who is also his agent, have postponed any decisions until the end of the season.There is an extension in the regulations of the application of the Growth Decree, the new tax law, accessible only to those who already benefit from it, which would allow Juventus to propose a renewal to Adrien Rabiot while accessing tax benefits. Last year, the player signed a one-year contract, taking advantage of reduced taxation for the fifth and final year provided. In the event that he remains in Italy – as envisaged by the regulation – the purchase of a property would entitle him to extend the reduced regime for another two years. The opportunity to retain the midfielder at a more accessible cost for the club would be appealing for Juventus, as well as any other Serie A club interested in signing him as a free agent.##NAJAVA_MECA_7930196##Rabiot has postponed any decision about his future until the end of the season. The idea of ​​staying at Juventus last August arose from several favourable conditions: in particular, the possibility of following up on his excellent previous season, which was record-breaking for him, in a context where he is seen as central to the project, also thanks to a coach who greatly appreciates him. This led to a slight adjustment in his salary, although it remained far from the potential offers from the Premier League or other top clubs. If the former PSG man chose not to change clubs in the year leading up to the European Championship, he might make different evaluations in the next transfer window. In the meantime, his leadership at Juventus has grown, making him feel important.The player will make all the necessary assessments with Madame Veronique, his mother, who manages his interests. It was she who directed him to sign an annual contract in 2023, which was somewhat unusual in modern football. But the project convinced him, so Rabiot signed until 30 June 2024. Juventus now knows that they could lose him, but they will still try to come up with a convincing renewal proposal: being able to still benefit from the Growth Decree, with the extension, would mean trying to consolidate the current agreement, which – after Paul Pogba’s departure – sees the Frenchman as the highest-paid player in the squad with 9 million euros. However, the 1995-born midfielder aims for a double-digit salary, and in the case of a new contract, his mother-agent also puts forward commission demands.Giuntoli , Manna, and #Allegri honoring #Rabiot’s 200th appearance pic.twitter.com/OE2fA1LDp2— 🎥 The AJC 🏳️🏴 (@The_AJC_) February 28, 2024 The relationship between Rabiot’s entourage and Juventus is very good. Madame Veronique had chosen Juventus during Paratici’s time, but later she consolidated the relationship with Cherubini. Last year, it was Manna who persuaded Rabiot to say yes, and he has ties to Allegri but has also developed cordial and mutually respectful relationships with Giuntoli. There will be a discussion about the future at the right time, at the end of the season and with clearer ideas about the proposals that the player’s entourage has already received, being able to move as a free agent. Rabiot’s future in Turin is uncertain but not definitively concluded: the club would also have an additional tool to reach an agreement without further burdening its budget.
