Adrien Rabiot 'accepts Barcelona offer'

Adrien Rabiot has reportedly decided to join Barcelona at the end of the season, snubbing interest from the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur in the process.

Rabiot has refused to sign a new deal with Paris Saint-Germain and will therefore be available on a free transfer in June, when his contract with the French champions expires.

Premier League trio Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham have all been credited with an interest, but according to Le Parisien, Rabiot has 'given a verbal agreement' to Barcelona that he will join them this summer.

The report has added that Rabiot can expect to pick up wages in the region of £170,000 a week, in addition to receiving a £9m sign-on fee upon his arrival at Camp Nou.

The 23-year-old, who refused to be on France's standby list for the 2018 World Cup, has made 20 appearances in all competitions for PSG this season but has not featured for the club since December.

Rabiot's reported arrival could push Ivan Rakitic towards the exit, with Barcelona also already securing the signing of Ajax midfielder Frenkie de Jong ahead of the 2019-2020 campaign.
