Adrien Rabiot's future is one of the big mysteries of the transfer market. He is not renewing at PSG and has been kept apart from the team. His contract expires in June. Where will he go?

Curiously he's not committed to any club in public, despite being a young footballer of a high level. Rabiot seemed close to Barca, but they signed De Jong and there is now distance between Rabiot and the Catalans.

OKDiario say that he could be Zinedine Zidane's secret signing. They say that the club see him as a replacement for Luka Modric in the medium term. The Croatian is 34 years old and Madrid want a player with similar characteristics.

 

Rabiot's arrival would not displace Modric immediately, because the Frenchman can play as interior or central midfielder or deeper. The player is free to join in June but he wants around 15 million as a signing on fee.
