3 players who can replace Toni Kroos at Real Madrid

#3 Adrien Rabiot

Paris Saint-Germain v Manchester City FC - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final: First Leg

Rabiot is surely feeling the heat at PSG at the moment after being frozen out of the squad since early December after disagreements with the club over a new contract. Rabiot had been stalling on his contract since a while and let it run down to within a year of expiration. There were talks of him agreeing to a move to Barcelona on a free in the recent winter transfer window, but that seems to be off the table as the Blaugrana side went ahead and signed Frenkie de Jong instead.

Although Rabiot has had his fair share of disputes with management both at club level as well as in the national setup, there is no denying the abundance of talent that the Frenchman possesses. Although he has made only 12 appearances in the league this season, he has averaged over 3 tackles and interceptions per game, completed over 3 long balls per game and has a passing accuracy of over 93%.

Rabiot is great at picking the ball close to the defence and moving it forward to the more creative players in the side. He is tenacious and hard working. He is silky on the ball and is almost press resistant. He rarely loses the ball and is great at picking out teammates with pinpoint long diagonal balls.

At just under 25, he will surely be a long term investment and he would come as a free transfer as well, making him an interesting prospect for Los Blancos.
