Man City ‘have recently begun approaches’ to sign player – Almost a ‘homecoming’ for him

Manchester City ‘have recently begun approaches’ over potentially signing Adrien Rabiot this summer, according to Wednesday’s edition of L’Equipe.

The midfielder’s contract expires at the end of June and he’s been ostracised at PSG since he made it clear he wouldn’t be signing a renewal.

That’s been much to the frustration of manager Thomas Tuchel, who has made it clear on more than one occasion that he feels it would have been appropriate for Rabiot to be available for selection.

Several clubs are interested in signing the Frenchman, and some of those have started making moves. There’s no transfer fee to pay, so convincing Rabiot will be down to salary and project.

L’Equipe state that a move to Manchester City would be ‘almost a homecoming’ for the player, after he spent some time there in his early teens. At that stage, Rabiot didn’t see a clear enough path at City and chose to leave, a decision which has since been justified.

Now the temptation of playing for such a successful club and under Pep Guardiola would be big for any player, and if the reporting of interest from Manchester City is correct then they surely have a good chance.
