Adrien Rabiot, the French international midfielder, has expressed interest in rejoining Juventus following a tumultuous period at Olympique Marseille. Sources confirm that Rabiot has reached out to former teammate Giorgio Chiellini, now a director at Juventus, to explore the possibility of a return to Turin.
While Juventus is considering Rabiot`s offer, the club`s sporting director is also pursuing Brighton midfielder Matt O`Riley as a potential alternative. This development comes as Douglas Luiz is expected to complete his transfer to Nottingham Forest.
Rabiot`s Juventus Legacy
During his five-year tenure with Juventus, Rabiot made a significant impact, featuring in 212 matches across all competitions. His contributions included 22 goals and 16 assists, solidifying his role as a key player for the Old Lady.
Rabiot`s departure from Juventus in 2024 as a free agent led him to Olympique Marseille, where his stint has been marred by recent controversy. Reports suggest a physical altercation with teammate Jonathan Rowe, prompting Marseille to place Rabiot on the transfer market.
At 30 years old, Rabiot remains in his prime, as evidenced by his strong performances for Marseille last season. His potential return to Juventus could provide the Italian club with a familiar and proven midfielder to bolster their squad.
