Adrien Rabiot wants to move to Barcelona to progress

Arsenal v Paris Saint Germain - International Champions Cup 2018

As per Mundo Deportivo, Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot has said 'yes' to a potential Barcelona move. The report claims that Rabiot has agreed to a transfer as he continues to hold out on signing a new contract with the Ligue 1 giants.

Barcelona's interest in Adrien Rabiot is nothing new and they had tried to land the Frenchman as part of Neymar's transfer in the summer of 2017.

Now it looks like Barcelona's wish will finally come true. The 23-year-old is reportedly ready to rebuff all contract offers from Paris Saint-Germain in order to force a move to Catalonia.

Here's the kicker: if PSG don't get Rabiot to put his signature on a fresh contract, Barcelona will end up signing him for free in the summer as the report adds that Rabiot's mother and agent has given Barcelona her word that her son will sign for them.
