Al-Nassr Set to Move for Adrien Rabiot Transfer with a €20 Million Contract Offer

Al-Nassr, aiming for the Saudi Pro League title, is preparing to make a move for Cristiano Ronaldo’s former teammate, Adrien Rabiot. The 28-year-old midfielder became a free agent after his contract with Juventus ended in June, and despite interest from several European clubs, he has yet to decide on his next move.

Al-Nassr Prepares a Big Contract Offer for Rabiot

According to Corriere dello Sport, Al-Nassr is ready to offer Rabiot a contract worth around €20 million per season (£17 million/$22 million). This lucrative offer could attract Rabiot, given the financial advantages of playing in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, Ronaldo is said to be playing a crucial role in this potential transfer, as the Portuguese star, who previously played with Rabiot at Juventus, is reportedly trying to persuade him to join Al-Nassr.

Key Role of Veronique Rabiot in Adrien Rabiot’s Transfer Negotiations

As always, Adrien Rabiot’s transfer negotiations are being handled by his mother and agent, Veronique Rabiot. However, it remains unclear whether the French midfielder is tempted to move to Saudi Arabia at this stage. One of the potential obstacles in the negotiations is the foreign player quota in the Saudi Pro League, which has been limited to ten players per team since December. This could complicate Al-Nassr’s plans to bring in Rabiot, although there are rumors that an exemption might be granted for the French player.

Factors Influencing Rabiot’s Transfer Decision

One of the main considerations for Rabiot is how moving to Saudi Arabia could impact his position in the French national team. However, the example of N’Golo Kanté, who joined Al-Ittihad earlier this year and was included in France’s Euro 2024 squad, shows that playing in the Saudi Pro League does not necessarily end a player’s international career. Rabiot could follow a similar path, benefiting from the financial advantages of playing in Saudi Arabia while maintaining his presence in the French national team.
