"Barcelona" released a statement on their official website denying the rumors that appeared in the French press about an agreement allegedly reached with Adrien Rabiot without PSG's knowledge. A. Rabiot's contract with PSG expires next summer, so he will be allowed to negotiate with other clubs only when the January transfer window opens. However, rumors spread in France that "Barcelona" had already reached an agreement with the player without PSG's knowledge. In their statement, the Catalans mentioned that they had shown concrete interest in the Frenchman in August and again a week ago, but they never had any agreement. "Barcelona" always wants to work transparently with PSG and other clubs. We want to deny the information that any agreement has been reached with the PSG player Rabiot," the statement reads on the official "Barca" website. Despite this statement, there is still a high probability that A. Rabiot will arrive at "Barca" this winter, as even PSG leaders have lost patience with a player who is currently separated from the team.
