Adrien Rabiot showed his outstanding skills in the midfield in the Champions League clash against FC Barcelona. PSG thrashed the Catalans and they almost got the ticket to the quarter-finals of the competition. The players in the midfield kept the ball and humiliated Barcelona, with Rabiot and Verratti as leaders of the match.
That game and the whole career of Adrien Rabiot has called the attention of many important clubs. In a great team like PSG, the 21-year-old midfielder has taken a position in the line-up leading the team with his class and style. He is both a defensive and offensive midfielder, all-in-one, keeping the position and giving balance to the team. Verratti, Matuidi and Rabiot formed a great treble in the midfield, combining pace, strength and quality.
Although the midfield position at Real Madrid is superbly covered with Casemiro, Modric, Toni Kroos, Kovacic or Isco, the possible departure of one of them opened the opportunity to new arrivals. Roma player Nainggolan has been one of the best midfielders in Europe and the same applies to Adrien Rabiot.
The French midfielder spoke with The Mirror about the possibility of leaving the club: “If an offer from a big club like Real Madrid arrives, you have to consider them. But the most important thing is the present and I’m now focused on this, it’s the best I can do”. However, he wanted to highlight that he’s happy in Paris: “I have contract until June 2019, so I’m not in a hurry”, Rabiot said.
He’s been one of the most important players for Unai Emery this season, playing 19 games in Ligue One and four matches in the Champions League. He was born near to Paris and he’s been always linked with the capital club. He played also on loan in Toulouse and he’s already played for the French national team. Rabiot is a great player to take in consideration and, for sure, Real Madrid scouters are already following him.
