Juventus makes final push to keep Adrien Rabiot amid contract expiry

Juventus is making a last-ditch effort to retain the services of French midfielder Adrien Rabiot, whose contract is set to expire in the coming weeks.
Rabiot had an exceptional season with Juventus, coinciding with the final year of his current contract, which would leave him as a free agent next month. This situation has prompted the club to engage in negotiations for a contract extension with the midfielder.
However, Juventus’ failure to secure a top-four finish in the Serie A this season has significantly diminished their chances of convincing Rabiot to remain at the club. The absence of Champions League football in the upcoming season could prove to be a deciding factor for the player.
Despite the odds stacked against them, Juventus is determined to make a strong case for Rabiot’s continued presence on the team. According to reports from Il Bianconero, the club has tabled a new one-year contract offer to the midfielder, with the same salary terms as his existing agreement.
Nevertheless, given Rabiot’s imminent status as a free agent, he has an array of potentially lucrative options available to him. This factor makes it highly unlikely that he would accept a contract without a salary increase, especially considering the interest from other clubs in Europe.
The final decision now rests with Rabiot himself, as he weighs Juventus’ last offer against the allure of exploring opportunities elsewhere as a free agent. The player’s future destination remains uncertain, and fans eagerly await his decision in the coming weeks.
Should Rabiot choose to leave Juventus, the club would face the task of finding a suitable replacement for his midfield role. His departure would undoubtedly leave a void in the team, both in terms of skill and experience.
