GdS: Rabiot responds to Milan’s inquiry as talks are underway – the situation

AC Milan enquired about Adrien Rabiot’s situation a few days back and the player’s mother/agent has now replied, with contacts underway. 

Due to the injury sustained by Ardon Jashari, Milan have been evaluating reinforcement for the midfield before the window closes, especially since Yunus Musah is one step away from Atalanta. Rabiot is the request of Allegri and, as such, an inquiry was made a few days ago.

According to today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (see photo below), Milan have finally received a response from Rabiot’s agent and mother, Veronique Rabiot. Contacts have been initiated and a move is now possible.

Contacts will take place today

As the pink newspaper continues, there are no formal negotiations just yet but compared to just a few days ago, there is now an openness to the move. Rabiot’s relationship with Marseille hasn’t been mended yet and since just a few days remain of the mercato, things could happen.

Today, there will be further contacts between Milan and the player to understand if the operation truly is feasible. Marseille’s request of €15m is deemed too high, so that would be the first thing to overcome, while an agreement must also be reached on the salary.

In the meantime, Musah is waiting for Allegri’s approval to join Atalanta on an initial loan deal, ready to join the Bergamo side as soon as possible.
