Adrien Rabiot was once on Manchester City's roster.
Yeah, you heard it right!
City signed a 13-year-old Rabiot in 2008 from French side Creteil. However, the northeast of England proved too much of a culture shock for the teenager, and the infamously damp Manchester weather proved too much as the young lad headed back to sunny France just six months later.
The Saint-Maurice born midfielder, who famously rejected being in Didier Deschamps' reserves list for the 2018 World Cup, could have been a pivotal player (he's much better than the fragile Ilkay Gundogan in my opinion) for the Citizens had things worked out differently.
With Rabiot running down his contract at Paris Saint-Germain whose gentleman's agreement with FC Barcelona was allegedly broken by the Catalan giants due to his off-field antics, could next season see the return of the (not-so) prodigal son?
