Atlético de Madrid are simmering a deal for Adrien Rabiot, with the French midfielder’s contract at Juventus expiring at the end of the season.
The Spanish club have endured a turbulent campaign, with their home form proving to be a saving grace. They now appear to be focusing their efforts on the Champions League, where they have a favorable draw on paper.
Meanwhile, sporting director Andrea Berta is working on solutions for next season, with the lack of options off the bench hindering the team’s results.

Rabiot is a top priority for Diego Simeone, and the player is reportedly interested in a move to the Wanda Metropolitano. The 27-year-old has offers from Italy, France, and England, as well as interest from Barcelona, which complicates Atlético’s pursuit.
However, the club are optimistic about the negotiations, which have been ongoing since the beginning of the year.
If the deal goes through, it would be a significant signing for Atlético, adding experience and quality to their midfield.
