Saudi Arabia 'threatens' Barça with its 'low-cost' midfield option

One of FC Barcelona's favourite midfielders is leaving the team and could be heading to the Saudi Pro League. We are talking about the Frenchman, Adrien Rabiot, whose future remains uncertain, as he has not yet signed with any club after being released by Juventus of Turin.

The player is one of the footballers on the list of the Blaugrana board as a 'low-cost' option to reinforce Flick's midfield, especially since Marc Bernal's injury. From Italy it is reported that he rejected an offer from AC Milan in order to sign for the team from the Ciudad Condal. However, a team from Saudi Arabia could frustrate the possible operation.

Al-Nassr wants Rabiot

Rabiot is the free agent with the highest market value (35 million euros) and has extensive experience in Europe, so Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr would be interested in his services. Saudi Arabia has offered him a contract worth 20 million euros a year, which exceeds all of his expectations, although it would mean leaving the old continent.

Although that would not be an impediment because N'Golo Kanté has shown that it is possible to be called up by Didier Deschamps' French team if he performs well. Italian media have stated that CR7 himself wants him by his side and would be participating in the talks. Although this club has a full quota of foreigners in the local league, they want to negotiate an exemption to be able to sign the Frenchman. We will see if they succeed.
