Reports: Milan ‘intensify’ talks with Marseille for Rabiot – the current situation

AC Milan could end the mercato with another midfielder, yet with talks ‘intensifying’ with Adrien Rabiot and his entourage. 

It has been a summer of midfield change for Milan, and as the clock ticks towards its ending, the club could see yet another departmental change. There remains a lot to be done, but things can progress quickly.

This morning, Gazzetta dello Sport stated that things had ‘opened’ for the Frenchman, after new contact with his mother.

Now, Gianluca Di Marzio (via Milan Posts on X) states that talks are ‘intensifying’ as the Rossoneri study the feasibility of a deal. Though things are complicated from a financial standpoint.

Marseille are demanding €15 million, whilst the player would also see a high salary, and then there are intermediary costs to consider as well. Of course, this is solvable, but this is why the delay is taking place currently.

Considering Gazzetta reported that a move for Musah could unlock something for Rabiot, and Allegri’s feelings – and extensive requests – regarding the Frenchman, perhaps the wheels are now turning to get something done. We shall have to see.

It seems, at least for now, if Musah is going to go, it’ll be to let Rabiot arrive, so these talks are crucial.

Whilst Matteo Moretto provided an update, which has been relayed by Milan Eye.

“Talks are still ongoing between Milan and Rabiot’s entourage. Milan are trying to see if the situation can be unlocked. Rabiot will always be an option for Milan till the end of the window as long as Milan have the possibility. For Allegri, he is a key addition.”
