Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli confirmed on Thursday that French midfielder Adrien Rabiot will not have his contract renewed, marking the end of his five-year tenure with the Serie A club.Rabiot, 29, joined Juventus in 2019 and went on to win the 2020 Serie A title and two Italian Cups during his time with the team. He has also been a key player for France, earning 48 caps and scoring four goals, including appearances in the 2022 World Cup and Euro 2024.
According to Italian media reports, Rabiot rejected a two-year contract extension worth €7.5 million per season, leading to his departure. He is now being pursued by top clubs, including AC Milan and Real Madrid.
Giuntoli bid farewell to Rabiot during Thiago Motta's first press conference as Juventus' new head coach. Motta will lead the team in their Serie A opener against Como on August 19.
Rabiot's departure marks the end of an era at Juventus, but the talented midfielder is sure to find a new home soon. With his impressive skills and experience, he will undoubtedly be a valuable asset to his next team.
