View: Everton cannot sign Adrien Rabiot under any circumstance amid links
Under no circumstance should Everton sign Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot in the summer amid links.
The Blues have made contact in “recent months” over a potential move for the former PSG ace, according to But Football Club.
The Frenchman’s Old Lady deal expires in 2023 but his immediate future at the club is at risk amid inconsistent form.
The Italian outfit are said to be willing to “sacrifice” the midfielder to make new additions to their squad in the summer.
Juventus are hoping Rabiot’s role in the France team will boost his value which could present difficulties for the Toffees in coming to an agreement.
His yearly wage of around £7million could also be a decisive factor in getting the deal over the line or not.
No way
Farhad Moshiri and co need to learn from their mistakes. How many times are Everton going to fork out big money for a player who hasn’t shown one reason why they should sign them?
Rabiot has been out of favour for some time now at Juventus and the Blues are naively prepared to waste a load of money on him based on where he has played before.
Just because he has played for some of the best teams in Europe, it doesn’t mean he is at their level and the amount he has moved around in his career whilst failing to make a notable impact only echoes that.
He will demand ludicrous wages and is a luxury player that Frank Lampard and the Toffees genuinely don’t need.
If this club wants to make any progress, they have to stop making stupid moves like this because as soon as the going gets tough – much like other fancy European talents – Rabiot will be forcing a move.
