Chelsea To Complete £17m For Barcelona Target Who Will Partner With Kante

 

 




Chelsea are looking to butt in on Barcelona’s transfer talks with the agent of Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot, according to a report.

Rabiot moved to the Bianconeri in the summer of 2019, arriving on a free transfer after his contract expired. He appeared to be a solid acquisition, having already emerged on the international stage for France. But despite playing a regular role so far, he has continually faced speculation over his future.


Indeed, Everton have had most links with a swoop for the 26-year-old. Meanwhile, Manchester United have also shown interest in the past.
However, reports earlier this month brought Chelsea into the equation.


Now, Calciomercato claims that the Blues are looking to beat Barcelona, who have also joined the race. In fact, Barca chiefs have made contact with Rabiot’s agent and mother Veronique.
However, Chelsea have a couple of existing links to the player, not least his former association with manager Thomas Tuchel while the pair were at Paris Saint-Germain.


What’s more, Rabiot is an admirer of his fellow Frenchman N’Golo Kante, saying during the most recent international break: “He never stops running. It’s easy to play alongside him.”

Therefore, the report claims that Rabiot could link up with his compatriot, who continues to make waves.
Indeed, Kante won the Man of the Match award in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals.
