Adrien Rabiot Reportedly Wants €10 Million Yearly Wages Amid Barcelona Rumours

Adrien Rabiot reportedly wants a contract worth €10 million per year amid rumours he is wanted by Barcelona. 

According to Mundo Deportivo (h/t Calciomercato.com), the Frenchman has made his wage demands known to all interested parties, which includes Barcelona after they unsuccessfully pursued him in the summer.

Rabiot is now in the final 12 months of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, who have been reluctant to offer such a salary and as such have failed to convince him to sign a new deal.

The midfielder has been with PSG since he was 15 but seems ready to move on a free transfer next summer if the club won't give in to his demands.

Rabiot is an industrious presence in the Parisians' engine room, providing defensive cover for their back line when the opposition are attacking.

He's also good on the ball, so when PSG are in possession, he looks to influence proceedings with his strong distribution:

The 23-year-old has played every minute of PSG's campaign this season and helped them win each of their first six matches.

However, he was unable to help his side come away from Anfield with a point on Tuesday as Liverpool beat PSG 3-2 in the UEFA Champions League.

Goal's Robin Bairner believes he's much better than the performance he put in:

The 23-year-old wasn't helped by manager Thomas Tuchel's decision to deploy Marquinhos and Angel Di Maria alongside him in midfield, so it's little wonder it was far from his best showing.

He's a good player with plenty of potential, so he'd make a strong acquisition for a lot of sides next summer, particularly on a free transfer.

Signing him for nothing could make his wage demands slightly more affordable for Barcelona and any other interested parties, but he still has much to prove to be worthy of such a high salary—he needs to earn it by producing as good a season as he can.
