Adrien Rabiot completed 2.49 progressive passes for Juventus last season, ranking him in the BOTTOM 12% of midfielders in Europe.

Rabiot? Seriously?

As biased as I am towards French players... I even think he's utter shit.

United signing Rabiot means they also are signing his Mom. Who is basically the equivalent of Cristiano's sister (who by the way is actually Cristiano Ronaldo himself).

we're walking away from the deal apparently :bow:

which is why you're seeing us linked with Casemiro etc

Adrien #Rabiot’s deal

Salary request: 9M/year + add-ons #ManUnited’s salary offered: 7M/year + bonus

Commissions: 10M (request by mom-agent Veronique)

So agents can just pull a figure out of their ass and demand it as payment for the deal to go through? Laughing

How legal is this and why is FIFA not doing anything about it.

I think it happens more often when the agent is also a family member or a relative of the player. That's the only reason I can think of for players to stay patient and not be bothered by the deal being blocked due to their agent's greed and demands for a hefty commission.

by Warrior Thu Aug 18, 2022 1:36 am

Yes those agent commission are bs, should be paid by the players, the only reason for clubs to pay that fee is when the agent is facilitating the transfer negociations between 2 clubs

Which is clearly not the case here, both clubs perfectly agreed, in fact the whole Juve board was excited as hell when they received Man U's offer and Agnelli himself was gonna drive Rabiot to the airport. Now Paredes loan is on hold because of Veronique, what a shame really.

It's an absolute upside down world in football Laughing

Agents should be the ones facilitating the deal, not bringing it down to a grinding halt by demanding an unreasonable amount of money on top of the transfer fee.

This is the crazy thing. Why are footballers allowing agents to bring down their deals? It makes literally ZERO sense!!!

To the ones baffled by this clearly are not aware of the monolithic and all encompassing force that it Adrien Rabiot's mother.

by Mr Nick09 Thu Aug 18, 2022 9:53 am

Rabiot is catching a lot of slack for his salary demands but put yourself in his shoes. It’s Juventus that signed him on a 7.5 mil deal per year to begin with, giving him a star player salary and now you expect him to decrease his earnings? Of course not. Juventus should have never had him on that kind of contract to begin with, but they were convinced he would become a superstar, joke on them

by Warrior Thu Aug 18, 2022 10:29 am

It's Juve's fault if this guy asks 9m salary, but here he gets paid 7.5 and played like crap during three years... i did not know salaries must increase regardless of a player's quality

by Mr Nick09 Thu Aug 18, 2022 11:19 am

Would you change job while asking for lower wages? Lol that’s not how business works. You put him at 7.5 mil it’s only normal that he asks for 9 mil on his next move. It’s your fault for paying him a contract he has never earned on the pitch. Now he stays on your book and Juve continues in mediocrity

by Warrior Thu Aug 18, 2022 11:27 am

Well ok he stays here and we pay 7.5 as the contract says

But you are missing the part of the story in which Juve asked him to find a new club. Unwanted here because not worth his salary and a bit of introspection never hurt anyone. As proof his demands were deemed obscene by Man Utd. They thought Man Utd was dumber than they are, nothing to do with Juve.

by Firenze Thu Aug 18, 2022 11:53 am

tbh I'm now his mothers #1 fan

hope they dont lower their demands, deal needs to stay mudded

by Warrior Fri Sep 13, 2024 5:32 pm

Still without a club Laughing

Had discussions with several clubs yet nobody is willing to pay the salary he's asking... so overrated

by Myesyats Fri Sep 13, 2024 6:47 pm

I honestly thought he was more of a journeyman but he actually spent his career at 2 clubs hmm

Not sure why but my impression was that he played for several clubs - possibly because his mother-agent has always been world famous for being a notorious negotiator

by Warrior Fri Sep 13, 2024 8:03 pm

Probably because he plays at a journeyman level. At Juve he was only good for one season and we did not came even close to winning the scudetto.

Somehow every summer you'd read about top clubs wanting Rabiot but they never sign him, the move is always blocked during contract negociations.

by Firenze Sat Sep 14, 2024 12:09 pm

We actually sorta desperately need him lol, Eriksen's legs are completely gone and we are light in midfield.

by Firenze Sun Sep 15, 2024 8:35 pm

on the cusp of joining Marseille lol? they have been making moves this summer they got money from somewhere?

funnny though, surely not matching his wages at Juve, he thought he would leave and all of the top clubs would be in for him I guess
