Rabiot arrives in Milan: debut vs Bologna at San Siro Sunday | OneFootball

Adrien Rabiot is officially a new player for Milan. The French midfielder, fresh from his experience at Marseille, landed this morning at Linate accompanied by his compatriot Mike Maignan.

Milan, Rabiot in Milan: “I'm happy, go Milan!” Debut at San Siro against Bologna on Sunday

Immediately after landing, the thirty-year-old headed to Milanello to begin his new Rossoneri adventure, welcomed by his first statements as a Milan player: «I'm happy, go Milan!».

The return with Allegri

Rabiot thus reunites with Max Allegri, with whom he shared three seasons at Juventus. A solid professional relationship, which the Frenchman can relaunch in Rossoneri, bringing experience and quality to a midfield that aims to raise the level in view of a season full of commitments between Serie A, Champions League and Coppa Italia.

From France to Italy, between controversies and restart

The former Marseille leaves Ligue 1 after turbulent weeks. Last August 15th he played his last official match, on the field of Rennes, before the break with the club due to the fight with teammate Rowe. A curious coincidence: their new encounter will already take place on Sunday, when Bologna will challenge Milan at San Siro.

There were also difficult moments with the French national team, where Rabiot was booed by fans in the friendly against Iceland. Didier Deschamps publicly defended him, but the midfielder only made two substitute appearances in the latest international outings.

The debut against Bologna

The athletic condition is not yet optimal: for this reason it is unlikely that Rabiot will start against Bologna. Allegri could give him space in the second half, thus allowing him to savor the debut in front of the Rossoneri fans with the number 12 shirt.

Veronique Rabiot: «Milan was the first choice»

Together with Adrien, his mother-agent, Veronique Rabiot, also arrived in Milan, who clarified her son's intentions: «If Milan was always the first choice? Certainly».

The French midfielder, also courted by Arab clubs after saying goodbye to Marseille, chose the Rossoneri project, signing a contract for about 5 million euros per season. Now the warmth of San Siro awaits him, ready to become his new home.
