The French midfield ace has been a decent performer at both ends of the pitch based on his average of 1.9 tackles, 0.9 interceptions, 1.0 clearances, 1.4 shots, 0.9 key passes and 1.0 dribbles per game in Serie A. He has even accurate when distributing possession from midfield after making 84.9% of his attempted passes in top-flight football (stats via whoscored).
His current contract at the Turin club will expire at the end of this campaign which could open the door for Barca to recruit him on a free transfer in the summer.

Rabiot is a solid tackler of the ball and can make a few timely interceptions for his team inside his half. He doesn’t mind clearing the danger when needed and can even strike the ball with power from long range.
The France international can create the odd chance for his teammates up top and is an energetic dribbler with the ball from midfield. He mainly plays as a box-to-box midfielder but can also fill in as a defensive midfielder or function as a left-sided wide player if required.

Rabiot is under contract at Juventus until the end of this season. Hence, Barca could potentially to sign him when he becomes a free agent in the summer. Thus, the La Liga giants should go for Rabiot later this year as he could help them compete across all competitions over the next few years.
