Reports in Argentina claim that Juventus have formally opened negotiations with PSG over Leandro Paredes, which could see Adrien Rabiot go the other way.
The midfielder has long been on their radar and the arrival of Angel Di Maria, his great friend, fellow countryman and former Paris Saint-Germain teammate, makes it even more likely he will head towards Turin.
According to TyC Sports, the Old Lady made a formal approach to the Ligue 1 giants to begin talks.
They are getting ahead of themselves, because a move cannot be made until Juve have shaken off some of their unwanted players.
Those are Aaron Ramsey, who is still holding out for a €4m pay-off to tear up his contract a year early, Arthur Melo and Rabiot.
There could be a union of intents when it comes to Rabiot, amid reports his mother and agent Veronique is trying to work out a return to PSG.
The 27-year-old is under contract with Juve until June 2023, having left the Parisians as a free agent in 2019.
Paredes is 28 and his contract runs to 2024, but they could still potentially enact a straight swap.
Hopefully its a straight swap deal
If not then don’t do it!
They are both worth 17 mil on transfermarket so a straight swap should be possible. They seem to be offloading both Ramsay Arthur and Rabiot. I think it means both Miretti and Fagioli will remain this year. Pogba, Locatelli, Zakaria, Mckennie, Fagioli and Miretti (and maybe Paredes).
Dream switch for Juve. Let’s see if psg falls for it
Lol maybe Rabiot and 20 mill. PSG not that stupid. DYBALA gone, DeLigt, Bernadeshi too , no money for Zaniolo, goalie stinks . Top 4 a dream!
if Juventus pulls this off, it is a master move in the market for Juventus.
Great idea. Hope it works
PhD Max will be thrilled by this as both have pathetic goal tallies. One has scored twice and the other 5 times for their respective clubs. People have been far too unkind to Zidane Rabiot. At least he can thrust forward once in a blue moon. Paredes is definitely more a Code Blue Max player as he has only two gears. Reverse and neutral just how Skywalker Max loves it.
Spot on Lord A!
I’m with Lord on this one. Rabiot isn’t great but maybe with Pogba, he could be OK. I’m not sure how Paredes would be an improvement.
Okay, for once L.A. has a point – neither of them are goal machines, so in that sense there’s no change.
