With July 1st just around the corner, not only is the start of the transfer market and the new season approaching, but it's also the first day of free agency for all those players whose contracts expire in three days and who still haven't found a new arrangement.
Among these, one of the most sought-after is without a doubt Adrien Rabiot, a midfielder whose contract with Juventus is expiring, and who has started in all three of France's matches at the European Championship. AC Milan is watching him from afar while Juventus seems increasingly unlikely to renew his contract.
For several weeks now, Juventus, and particularly director Giuntoli, have been trying to convince the Frenchman to stay in Turin. However, up to this point, the player has not only refused but has also cast doubt on his future. As Juventus appears ready to raise the white flag, AC Milan has taken notice. According to Tuttosport, they have matched Juventus's offer but with a slight difference: a guaranteed three-year contract. Juventus's proposal to Rabiot's mother-agent is 7.5 million for two years, with an option for a third. Moncada, on the other hand, is said to have offered the same amount for a guaranteed three years. This is not a trivial amount for Milan, who would be pushing their budget to the limit.
For his part, Rabiot and his entourage are biding their time. This is also due to the European Championship: on one hand, the player is fully focused on the competition with France.
