#3 Rabiot very close to joining Juventus

Rabiot has reportedly agreed terms with Juventus

Adrien Rabiot is very close to joining Juventus, after both he and his mother agreed to the terms of a contract tabled by the Serie A Champions. Unless there are any last minute twists, which would be in line with the Frenchman's reputation, Rabiot will be a Juventus player next season.

The breakthrough arrived after the intervention of Juventus Sporting Director Fabio Paratici, who involved himself personally in the negotiations and managed to convince both the player as well as his mother, who doubles as his agent.

The Frenchman will supposedly earn around £7m a year in wages. Even though his initial wage demands were £10m a year, it seems that Juventus were able to negotiate a deal which suited both parties.

Despite the huge amount of money involved, it is believed that Rabiot's arrival will not have any impact on Juventus' pursuit of Paul Pogba. The Frenchman remains the primary target of the Serie A Champions.
