After Liverpool made an attempt to sign him, the “world class” free agent might now complete a move to the Premier League

Liverpool might not be finished acquiring players just yet.

After adding custodian Giorgi Mamardashvili, Richard Hughes’ first transfer window as Anfield’s Director of Football was relatively quiet, with just one acquisition, Federico Chiesa, to his roster.

Nevertheless, a free agent may still sign with Liverpool even after this Friday’s 11 p.m. transfer deadline.

It’s possible that Adrien Rabiot is headed to Liverpool

Adrien Rabiot is currently the subject of a report from Gazzetta dello Sport. The Italian news source is primarily perplexed as to why the seasoned France international has not yet secured a new club.

The Saint-Maurice native left Juventus when his contract expired in July, having played 212 games for the mighty Italian team. He therefore became a free agent.

Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Rabiot, 29, may soon fulfil his ambition of playing in the Premier League and mentions Liverpool and Atletico Madrid as two teams that have recently expressed interest in signing him.

It is a realistic possibility since, even after developing Ryan Gravenberch into a strong No. 6 option at the base of midfield, Arne Slot may still need another central midfield player at Anfield.

Wataru Endo was the sole backup defensive midfielder on the Dutchman’s bench at Old Trafford on Sunday, meaning Rabiot—who has been dubbed a “world class” player—would undoubtedly see a lot of playing time.

Rabiot recently turned down AC Milan, which raises the likelihood of a Premier League transfer even further.

The France international could insist on being paid top earner at Anfield

Since there is no transfer fee associated with free agents, their salaries are typically excessive. A particularly noteworthy instance of this concerned Juventus. Aaron Ramsey was notably given a £400,000-per-week contract by the Serie A team when his Arsenal contract expired in 2019.

Consequently, we believe that Rabiot, who was previously paid £148,000 per week in Turin before to his departure, would look to sign a contract with a team that pays closer to £200,000 per week.

In the end, a prestigious team like Liverpool will already be well aware of these particulars, so be sure to monitor this development in the event that the Reds extend an offer to the Frenchman.
