On Wednesday, celebrating his 24th birthday, Adriennes Rabiot received a special gift - he finalized a contract with the Madrid "Real" club.
Due to contract disputes, A. Rabiot will become a free agent next summer after being separated from Paris Saint-Germain team, so he can strengthen any European team for free.
He has long been linked with Barcelona, but they decided to acquire Frenkie de Jong instead.
According to Canal + in France, Zinedine Zidane expressed his desire to see A. Rabiot in his team, so both parties are close to reaching an agreement on a five-year contract.
It is said that A. Rabiot will replace Mateo Kovacic, who does not plan to return to the Real club. It is also likely that one of the two young midfielders - Dani Ceballos or Federico Valverde - will leave the "white" team.
