Paris Saint Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot will be leaving the French champions for a move to Premier League giants Chelsea or Arsenal in January, according to the Daily Express.
The 19-year-old has been linked with a move from the French capital but failed to agree terms with Serie A sides Roma and Juventus.
It had been suggested that Rabiot would leave the Parc des Princes at the end of his contract which expires in the summer however being omitted from PSG’s Champions League squad has left the France U-21 international wanting a transfer in January.
Potential
Rabiot is seen as an important player for the future in Paris making 25 Ligue 1 appearances last season helping Laurent Blanc’s side to the double.
The midfielder also made six appearances in the Champions League last season before losing to Chelsea in the quarter-finals.
Rabiot’s impressive performances have seen him linked with a move to big European teams and is struggling to agree a new contract with the Parisians who are reluctant to meet the 19-year-old’s wage demands of £60,000 per week.
Competition
Competition for a place in PSG’s team is fierce, Rabiot is capable of playing in centre back too but remains behind the club’s big name signings.
The side are well catered for in midfield with Yohan Cabaye, Thiago Motta, Marco Verratti and Blaise Matuidi all higher up on the pecking order in Laurent Blanc’s team.
Meanwhile the £50 million purchase of David Luiz from Chelsea has added competition to the centre back pairing of Thiago Silva and Marquinhos.
