FC Barcelona could be considering the option of signing Adrien Rabiot to reinforce its midfield. However, this incorporation would be surrounded by some controversy due to the unfavorable history that the French player had with the culé club in 2018
The FC Barcelona is crossing a stage in which it looks for opportunities of market without making big investments, but with players the sufficiently qualified to carry with solvency the elastic Barcelona. In this sense, is not surprising that the picture culé was attentive to players of quality that, by diverse reasons, could not arrive to an agreement with his teams and at present find in condition of free agents.
One of these footballers that could be an attractive incorporation for the combined Catalan is Adrien Rabiot. With 29 years of age, the Frenchman remained without team after finishing his stage in the Juventus of Turín. At present, it is in search of a new group to continue his career futbolística, since it showed to be in plenitud of conditions during the Eurocopa 2024 in Germany, where was one of the most stood out players of the French selection.
Nevertheless, this possible incorporation could generate some controversy for the team culé. No by the incident that had with Lamine Yamal in the Eurocopa, where his provocation to the youngster 'jewel' Barcelona went out him quite bad. Rather, it is due to a situation that occurred in 2018, when the Barcelonan cast was very near to do of the services of the French midfield player. The '14' of 'Them Bleus' would arrive to the combined of the City Condal in condition of free agent after his turbulent exit of Paris Saint-Germain, where even was separated of the Parisian dynamics for denying to renew his contractual links. However, this transfer did not concretise because of an unusual reason.
The controversy behind the union fallida between the FC Barcelona and Adrien Rabiot in 2018
Why fracasó this transfer? The answer is simple: the requirements desorbitadas of the player and his surroundings to join to the FC Barcelona. According to the newspaper 'SPORT', the demands of the mother of the Frenchman, Véronique Rabiot, carried to the limit to the Catalan team. These demands included an annual wage of roughly 10 M€ net. Likewise, the progenitor of Adrien requested a premium of signing of 15 'kilos', five millions more than the agreed initially. To his time, the PSG had to receive 10 M€ by the rights of training of the player, since Rabiot surfaced of his quarry.
Added to this, it is necessary to stand out that the possible negotiations by Rabiot generated some tension between the PSG and the FC Barcelona. "Always it surprises us the fact that the clubs do not respect the rules. The Barcelona put in accordance with Rabiot before coming to negotiate with us. It was a ridiculous proposal. We remain very surprised, since it was a very low proposal. A disrespectful proposal for a player of level of Rabiot. It is clear that the Barcelona already has an agreement with Adrien", expressed in his moment Antero Henrique, the one who was sportive director of the Parisian group in that then, in an interview with 'Irradiate Montecarlo'.
Had the Barcelona club that pay him a compensation to Rabiot when frustrating his incorporation in 2018?
Besides, the half 'Sky Sports Italy' informed that the Barça could have signed a precontrato with Rabiot and, when deciding not concretising his incorporation, would have to pay him an agreed economic compensation by both parts. However, the club issued a communiqué denying this information: "In front of the news appeared in France, the FC self-evident Barcelona that has not broken any rule concerning the signing of players of the PSG. The only contacts carried out in the month of August and now does a week. In both cases, the contacts produced with the sportive managers of the PSG to show the interest of the FC Barcelona in the player Adrien Rabiot", began saying.
"The FC Barcelona always has wanted to work from the maximum transparency with the PSG and with any another club. The FC Barcelona denies the existence of any type in accordance with the player of the PSG Adrien Rabiot", concluded the communiqué. Finally, they did not have to pay compensation some and rid of a player that, paradoxically, could finish recalando in the picture culé this summer.
