Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot said he is absent from Juventus’ pre-season tour of the US for personal reasons.
The France midfielder’s long-term future remains unclear and not travelling with the rest of his team-mates to the USA only intensified rumours he could be on his way out.
However, he has posted a story on his Instagram page explaining this is not the case. His statement read: “In agreement with the club and personal reasons, I will stay in Italy to end my physical preparation.”
Rabiot joined on a free transfer in 2019 after leaving Paris Saint-Germain following a series of controversies, including liking a post celebrating his then side’s elimination from the Champions League.
