Adrien Rabiot’s mother Véronique spoke about the failure of her son's transfer to Manchester United and launched a scathing attack on the Red Devils.
The mother and agent of the Marseille player spoke about the failure of her son's transfer to Old Trafford. She entered the details and admitted that Rabiot was about to sign for United, but that disagreements during the negotiations made the transfer to the transfer, which led her to qualify the English club “disrespectful”.
United was very interested in the signing of the Frenchman in 2022, the summer he was also in talks to sign Frenkie de Jong de Barcelona. At the time, Rabiot played for Juventus in Serie A and had entered the last year of his contract. A transfer of 15 million pounds sterling (13 million euros/$ 18 million) would have already been agreed between Juve and United, but wage disputes have failed the transfer, the rabiot camp seeming apparently 10 million euros (9 million pounds sterling/12 million dollars) per year. This statement was denied by Mrs. Rabiot in November 2023. Although the transfer did not materialize in 2022, the two parties again sought a way to get along the following year, Rabiot becoming free from any contract. Rabiot finally extended his stay in Turin for an additional year. But unsurprisingly, Manchester United was again interested in Rabiot in 2024, when the French international finally decided to give up his dream of playing in the Premier League to sign in Marseille.
The big development of the Rabiot clan
In an interview with the team, Véronique responded to the accusations that she was too demanding during the negotiations, which would ultimately have led to their failure. However, she said: ” But this is also completely false. That year, Adrien was ready to leave Juve, who qualified for the Champions League, for Manchester United, who had not done so.
A big focus
We discussed the conditions and, in the end, they said to me: “If we do not qualify for the Champions League at the end of next season, Adrien's salary will be reduced. I found it really exaggerated and very disrespectful.
I said: “We stop”. They thought it was a strategy to get more (money). But no, it was a question of principle, no money. Obviously, it surprised them. They are not used to that. »»
The 30 -year -old is in the last year of his contract with Marseille, who should return to the Champions League next season. Rabiot, who has become one of the leaders of the locker room under the tutelage of Roberto de Zerbi, hopes to continue to play well, while keeping an eye on the 2026 World Cup.
