In a recent report, Calciomercato mentioned that Real Madrid are among the clubs hoping to land Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot. It has been stated that Los Blancos would have to rival Manchester United, Inter Milan and AC Milan in the race to land the France international this summer.
Rabiot’s Impressive Form In Italian Football Last Season
The 29-year-old had a solid campaign at the Turin club as he put in a series of impressive displays for them at the centre of the park. Rabiot made 35 appearances for Juve last season, netting five goals and picking up three assists in all competitions.
The French midfield ace has been a positive influence at both ends of the field based on his average of 1.9 tackles, 0.8 interceptions, 0.9 clearances, 1.2 shots, 0.8 key passes and 0.9 dribbles per game in Serie A. He has even been tidy when distributing the ball from midfield, as evidenced by his pass completion rate of 84.4% in league football (stats via whoscored).
His current contract at the Italian club will run out at the end of this month which could give Los Blancos a chance to sign him on a free transfer later this summer.
Is Rabiot A Good Fit For Real Madrid Boss Carlo Ancelotti?
Rabiot is a solid tackler of the ball and can time his challenges well to secure the ball back for his side in the middle of the park. He doesn’t mind clearing the danger when needed and can strike the ball with power from long range.
The French talent has got the vision to engineer a few promising chances for his teammate in the opponent’s half and is a strong runner with the ball as well. He is primarily a box-to-box midfielder but can also play as a defensive midfielder or as a left-winger if asked to do so.
We can expect Rabiot to enhance the quality of Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti’s match-day squad. He is good enough to help the Madrid giants challenge for even more major silverware over the next few years.
At 29, Rabiot is enjoying his prime right now and is well-equipped to make an instant impact at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Hence, he would be a good fit for Los Blancos‘ needs in the short term.
