Barcelona might have just pulled off a huge transfer

Adrien Rabiot agrees to join Barcelona on a free transfer in the summer

Rabiot, whose current contract will run out at the end of the season is free to enter a pre-contract agreement with a club of his liking. And according to The Guardian, the Frenchman has agreed to join Barcelona on a 5-year deal. He will receive £170,000 per week.

Rabiot will receive a signing-on fee of €10 million. Adrien Rabiot has been part of the PSG team since 2012 and was one of their brightest young prospects when he first emerged on the scene. However, a dip in form in the past two seasons has urged Rabiot to consider a change in setting and has refused to renew his contract with the Ligue 1 champions.

Rabiot is as seen as a long-term replacement for Sergio Busquets. He will join Barcelona in the summer.
