Max Allegri wanted him strongly and got his wish: starting Wednesday, Adrien Rabiot will officially be a new AC Milan player. Or rather, he already is, given the announcement on the final day of the transfer window. But for just under a week now, the Frenchman has not been seen at Milanello because he has been on duty with France.
From Wednesday onward, he will regularly be at the Rossoneri training center, aiming to regain top form after a turbulent start to the season. Rabiot’s last 90 minutes came on August 15 in Marseille’s 1–0 defeat at Rennes, marked by the infamous clash with Rowe that led to both players being sidelined and sold, as relayed via Milannews.it.
Since then, he has had no Ligue 1 minutes, apart from a 15-minute appearance the other night against Ukraine. Tuesday’s match against Iceland could give Milan’s new midfielder more playing time to rebuild his condition before returning to Italy, this time in Milan, to become a key figure in the club’s new era. One thing is certain: Rabiot, along with Modric, has a guaranteed place in the team’s three-man midfield. With him, Allegri adds leadership, quality, and energy: not a small boost.
