Adrien Rabiot agrees AC Milan move! Reunion with Massimiliano Allegri sealed after midfielder’s Marseille banishment

 Milan have reached an agreement to sign midfielder Rabiot from Marseille for a fee of €10 million, including bonuses, according to Gazzetta in Italy. The France international has agreed personal terms with the Rossoneri and is now set to undergo a medical before signing his contract to complete the move.

The transfer sees Rabiot reunite with manager Allegri, under whom he enjoyed a successful spell at Juventus. Allegri was reportedly instrumental in pushing the deal through, having demanded reinforcements following their defeat in the first Serie A game of the season. Rabiot’s move comes after he was banished from the first-team and placed on the transfer list after a dressing room altercation with team-mate Jonathan Rowe following a 1-0 defeat to Rennes. The situation escalated publicly when the player's mother and agent, Veronique Rabiot, fiercely criticised Roberto De Zerbi and the club's hierarchy for their handling of the incident, making his departure seem certain and paving the way for Milan's approach.

With a reported salary demand of at least €5.5m net per season, Rabiot is set to become one of the highest-paid players at AC Milan. His earnings will likely surpass the base salary of star forward Rafael Leao.

Rabiot will complete his medical and formally sign his contract in the coming days. He is expected to be integrated quickly into the first-team squad and will compete for a starting role with players such as Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Youssouf Fofana. His arrival provides Allegri with a proven, top-level option as Milan look to compete on domestic and European fronts. If everything goes as planned, he might feature in Milan's next fixture against Bologna after the international break.
