Barcelona set to sign Juventus target Adrien Rabiot
Rabiot has been the subject of speculation over the past few months, as reports continued to link him with moves to Barcelona, Juventus, AC Milan and Tottenham. PSG sporting director publicly stated two weeks ago that the Frenchman will leave the club on a free transfer at the end of the season.
Calciomercato's Fabrizio Romano has now confirmed that Barca have sealed the deal for Rabiot, who will join the club on a free transfer next summer. He will earn 10 million euros a season.
Reports across Europe, including the reliable ParisUnited and Matteo Pedrosi had previously stated that Rabiot is close to a move to Barcelona, as his mother Veronique Rabiot was in Barcelona to hold talks over a possible move.

Paris United stated that Barcelona had already found an agreement for a five-year contract for the Frenchman, who will earn 10 million euros a season on signing for the Catalan giants. That is the wage that he had demanded from PSG before rejecting two contract offers from them.
