THE BIGGER PICTURE
Rabiot, who joined Juventus on a free transfer in 2019, played under Allegri when the Italian tactician managed Juventus for three seasons between 2021 and 2024. Allegri had targeted Rabiot as a replacement for Tijjani Reijnders who has joined Manchester City, and the 30-year-old recently said he was open to reuniting with his former boss.
