The situation of Paris Saint-Germain superstar Adrien Rabiot has dominated the headlines for the past few weeks, with a lot of speculations surrounding the future of the midfielder at the Parc Des Princes after he refused to renew his contract with the Parisians, which is set to expire during the summer.
The Frenchman will become a free agent in July, which means that he is free to enter into negotiations with his desired club starting from this winter, and a number of European powerhouses are already fighting for his signature while they monitor his situation in the French capital closely.
A highly talented midfielder who possesses a lot of technical skills and experience, Rabiot has proved that he is capable of playing at the highest level with his fantastic displays in the French League during the past 2 years, which goes a long way to explain why many European outfits are after his services.
With the speculations getting even stronger, we decided to rank the 4 likely destinations for the Frenchman this winter.
#4 Liverpool
Many clubs from various divisions in Europe have been monitoring Adrien Rabiot's situation at the Parc Des Princes so far and it now appears that a move to the English Premier is also a possibility, with Anfield giants Liverpool also among his suitors.
According to Metro, The EPL leaders have reportedly made contact with Paris Saint Germain over the possibility of luring the midfielder to the Anfield this winter and it is only a matter of time before we know if anything could develop from there.
Rabiot would be a good signing for the Premier League giants due to his immense technical skills and his introduction would give Jurgen Klopp's men a huge boost as they chase the Premier League title this season.
However, to break into a midfield pack consisting of Fabinho, James Milner, Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita, Georginio Wijnaldum, Adam Lallana and the soon-to-return Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could be a challenge.
#3 Bayern Munich
With his impressive displays at the Parc Des Princes during the past few years, Adrien Rabiot has proved that he is capable of performing at the top level and it comes as no surprise that Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are also among the clubs vying for his signature.
The German giants have struggled with consistency at the domestic level so far this season and they are keen to add more strength to their squad as they aim to overtake Borussia Dortmund in the race for the Bundesliga title.
The Bavarians have emerged as a possible destination for Rabiot this winter and if he does signs for the German champions, he would get the opportunity to play alongside a host of his international teammates including Benjamin Pavard, Corentin Tolisso and Kingsley Coman at the Allianz Arena.
#2 FC Barcelona
If Rabiot ends up leaving Paris Saint Germain this winter, he is highly likely to be found in Catalonia, with FC Barcelona leading the race to seal his signature since a few weeks ago.
The midfielder has been on Barcelona's radar for quite some time, with reports recently stating that the Blaugrana had two official bids turned down by Paris Saint Germain last year but it now looks like they are finally getting the work done with the player refusing to extend his contract with PSG amid his interest to play at the Nou Camp.
As a matter of fact, there were several reports recently suggesting that the Catalans have reached a pre-contract agreement with the player and it is now only a matter of time before we know whether he would wear the Blaugrana jersey or not.
#1 Paris Saint Germain
With only a few months to go before his contract runs out, there are plenty of options before Adrien Rabiot at the moment. We have listed a number of clubs that could lure him from the Ligue 1 in each of the previous slides but we also need to note that staying put at the Parc Des Princes is also a possibility for the French midfielder.
Although the relationship between the player and Paris Saint-Germain has broken down during the past few weeks, there is no doubt the French champions will be willing to grant their academy product a chance if he ends up changing his mind.
As a matter of fact, Paris Saint-Germain manager Thomas Tuchel, offered a glimpse of hope on the subject recently when he said that he would reassess Rabiot's situation with the club once the January transfer window closes.
Given the team's attacking firepower and their present run of form coupled with a realistic chance at the Champions League, it seems like PSG stay is probably the better decision for the crafty midfielder.
