Adrien Rabiot, a player for France, has been connected to Los Blancos in the interim. The 29-year-old is now in talks with Juventus to sign a new contract as his current one expires. Juve has reportedly offered Rabiot a two-year contract for €7.5 million annually, with the option for a third year, according to GdS (as cited by MD). However, Rabiot would be thrilled to join international colleagues Ferland Mendy, Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, and Kylian Mbappe at Real Madrid.
Rabiot would be a good midfield alternative at a reasonable price for Real Madrid, even if he wouldn't necessarily compete for a starting position. However, it would normally be against their signing policy to sign a player of his age. He is now in discussions and has been connected to Barcelona in recent months, which raises some doubts about the news until it is confirmed.
