One of the biggest challenges for FC Barcelona at the start of the 2024/25 summer transfer window was to secure the services of a top-class central midfielder. But as the days went by This goal was pushed into the background, mainly due to the increasing need for a top left wingerAs Barça’s sporting department has decided, once all the players are healthy again, there will be numerous options in the squad to reinforce this area of ​​the field.

As a result, every potential central midfielder linked with the Blaugrana squad appears to have been put on ice. One of them, possibly the most prominent option, was the controversial Adrien Rabiotwho almost joined Barcelona in the past (but did not do so for a number of controversial reasons) and who became one of the most sought-after free agents since July 1 this year after not renewing his contract with Juventus.

Liverpool are said to be interested in Adrien Rabiot

However, this option seems to be disappearing on the market if FC Barcelona decides to make a last-minute move. Why? As “L’Equipe” suspects, apparently Liverpool have made the Frenchman their top priority to strengthen their midfieldafter players like Martin Zubimendi declined because experience was needed in a very young central zone with players like Curtis Jones (23), Ryan Gravenberch (22), Harvey Elliot (21), Stefan Bajcetic (19) and others.

At this point, we can only wait and see what decision the talented midfielder will make. It is important to note that In addition to the interest of Barcelona and now Liverpool, other clubs are also closely monitoring Adrien Rabiot’s situationPerhaps AC Milan has an advantage in this scenario, as the man from Saint-Maurice seems to feel very comfortable in Italy.

However, it cannot be ruled out that, as journalist Fabrizio Romano mentioned, The Frenchman apparently dreams of playing in the Premier League. That would give Liverpool a clear advantageespecially since the other English club that had been vying for the “14” of “Les Bleus”, Manchester United, has apparently withdrawn from the race and is now more interested in securing the services of Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte.
