Why Rabiot could return to Juventus, Inter or Roma, but not Milan | OneFootball

With Olympique Marseille officially announcing Adrien Rabiot is for sale, it’s reported he was offered to Inter, Roma and even Juventus, but Milan have no room for the midfielder.

The France international has a long history of drama in his career and this is just the latest, because he has been excluded from the Marseille squad by the club and coach Roberto De Zerbi.

The decision was made following a locker room altercation with teammate Jonathan Rowe, who has also been put on the transfer market.

Now a return to Serie A is entirely possible for Rabiot, who after all spent five years at Juventus until letting his contract run down in July 2024.

Rabiot retains interest from Serie A sides

Milan would’ve been the obvious choice for the presence of his old coach Max Allegri, but with Luka Modric, Ardon Jashari and Samuele Ricci all signed this summer, there simply isn’t room in a team that is out of European football.

FCInterNews suggest that Inter were offered the opportunity to sign the 30-year-old, and are giving it some thought, as their midfield is in flux.

Roma are another alternative, although they seem to be trying to lower the average age of the squad.

The most intriguing report from Calciomercato.com and RMC Sport is that Rabiot could even return to Juventus.

It is worth noting that the reasons he left have been lifted, namely director of sport Cristiano Giuntoli, and his salary worth €7.5m per season.

Damien Comolli is now in charge of the Bianconeri’s transfer strategy, and the player’s wages at Marseille are said to be worth €3.5m per season plus €2m in performance-related bonuses.
