Tottenham Hotspur will not transfer Adrien Rabiot from Paris Saint Germain

It has been reported that PSG midfielder Adrien Rabiot will make a move to FC Barcelona, not Tottenham. This may disappoint some supporters since Spurs were a possible destination for the Frenchman.

Many players are being talked about when it comes to upcoming transfers. One of the most talked about players is Paris Saint Germain’s Adrien Rabiot. Though not a high-scorer, Rabiot serves as a level-headed connection between defense and offense.

The Frenchman has been linked with several clubs including Juventus, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Tottenham. Needless to say, he is a hot item.

Now, though, it is reported that FC Barcelona is almost a certain destination for him.

While there has been much talk and many rumors, Barcelona seem the closest to actually taking action. It looks as if Rabiot will stay put in PSG until the end of the season and then Barcelona will close the deal.

Also, it is believed that Thomas Meunier backs this claim up. Meunier is a teammate of Rabiot’s in Paris. He said ‘The fact that an offer arrives for him from such a big club is something that you can’t rule out at his age, in that position, and in the face of such a proposition it’s hard to say no.’ “Big club” is believed to mean Barcelona.

Many believe Tottenham should make some signings this January. This may be because several players have gotten injured recently and are still out. These include Victor Wanyama, Eric Dier, and Mousa Dembele. All three players are midfielders, like Rabiot.

Also, the possible exit of Christian Eriksen to Real Madrid has been haunting Spurs fans for some time now. Some are looking out for a replacement. This is the case even though there is no indication Eriksen is leaving. Still, transfer windows are full of surprises.

One thing that is all but certain is that Tottenham will not sign Adrien Rabiot. Barcelona has likely already completed some form of an agreement and have a much better chance than any other club to bring him onboard.
