Atletico Madrid’s Competition for Adrien Rabiot: Juventus, Manchester United, and Antoine Griezmann’s Influence

In recent years, Atletico Madrid have been emphasizing free transfers in order to meet their salary limit, which helps reduce the cost of transfers. The flip side is that these players tend to have multiple suitors.

This is the case of Adrien Rabiot, who is the subject of strong competition this summer. Juventus hope to keep the French international, who is out of contract this summer and has started all 48 games he has played this season, with the exception of one. Besides, he scored 11 goals and provided 6 assists.

Manchester United have been linked with him since last summer and are once again favorites to bring him in this time around, with the strongest economic proposition. Rabiot receives an annual salary of €6m, according to Diario AS. Juventus, despite their lack of resources after not qualifying for the Champions League, hope to convince him with Max Allegri, who has won the Frenchman’s confidence.

Atlético de Madrid, whose financial means are between those of Juventus and United, hope to convince Rabiot to join him with Antoine Griezmann. The French world champion shared the same dressing room as Rabiot in the national team for some time.

Griezmann tends to have a good relationship with those around him in the dressing room, and especially with the Blues. Rabiot would come to reinforce a midfield which already includes Koke Resurreccion, Rodrigo de Paul and Marcos Llorente, and it is perhaps no coincidence that reports that the latter is no longer ‘untouchable’ emerged earlier this week. . Anyway, the Colchoneros will have a lot to do to recruit Rabiot.
