‘Mother knows best’- PSG over Liverpool says Adrien Rabiot’s mum
Adrien Rabiot has appeared on the radar of Liverpool for the second time, with the Reds registering their interest in him last summer as well.
Jurgen Klopp is the man at Liverpool who admires Rabiot’s versatility, and was even ready to part ways with Roberto Firmino or Naby Keita to bring in the Frenchman.
According to multiple reports, Liverpool were offering Firmino or Keita to Juventus in a swap deal with Rabiot. Juventus, who were interested in Firmino, however did not approve such a deal.
The midfielder meanwhile, himself has spoken up about his future with keeping in mind the World Cup which will take place later this year. “I have not talked about it (an exit) with the club,” said Rabiot.
“I try to stay focused on the national team and let my agent do it. I am under contract with Juve and nothing indicates to me that I will leave. As for the World Cup , it would have nothing to do with my decision. It wouldn’t affect my choice.”
On the other hand, Rabiot’s mother feels a transfer back to the French capital would be in the best interests of her son. The 27-year-old made 227 appearances for PSG, bagging 24 goals and 14 assists.
At Juventus however, Rabiot has managed to produce only 6 goals and as many assists in 129 games. Rabiot’s Juventus contract expires next summer, and a possibility of him full-filling it is not ruled out yet.
