Adrien Rabiot is represented by his mother, something which has intrigued much of the European sport media for years.
Any story about him has to place her front and centre, and she’s usually represented as the baddie of the piece.
Calciomercato report this weekend that Veronique has been in touch with Premier League clubs, with the midfielder being of ‘serious’ interest to Everton and Manchester United.
A Juventus exit is on the cards, and therefore contact has been held with Everton and others in recent weeks.
The Toffees are ‘particularly interested’ and it’s even claimed Carlo Ancelotti tried to sign the player during the January transfer window, presumably on a loan basis at that time. A possible offer is put at around €25-30m for the summer market, and Rabiot is said to be ‘convincing himself’ to join Everton.
‘Mamma Rabiot’, as Calciomercato refer to the midfielder’s agent, is ‘at work’, looking for transfer possibilities should they be required when the window is open.
