Transfer blow for Reds as Rabiot reportedly agrees to Barcelona switch

Liverpool could miss out on Adrien Rabiot.

The Reds had been linked with the midfielder in recent months, who had become increasingly unsettled at Paris Saint-Germain.

With several high-profile European clubs vying for the 23-year-old, many fans had been keenly waiting to see where Rabiot would end up.

Unfortunately for Liverpool fans, it seems as though the box-to-box presence is heading for Catalunya to join Barcelona, according to a report in Mundo Deportivo.

Rabiot’s PSG contract is set to run out at the conclusion of the current season and despite the club having offered the Saint-Maurice native a new deal, it is thought that he is seeking pastures anew.

It is understood that former Barcelona defender Eric Abidal travelled to Paris to conduct negotiations with the French international, who has made a soft agreement to make the move to Catalunya.

Rabiot will be free to sign a pre-contract agreement on New Year’s Day, although seems increasingly likely that will not be one to bring him to Merseyside.
