During the recent summer transfer window, Liverpool was frequently linked with several players, including Adrien Rabiot.
One of the key areas Liverpool aimed to strengthen in the summer 2024 transfer window was their midfield, particularly after failing to sign Martin Zubimendi.
To address this need, Liverpool explored options among free agents and showed genuine interest in the French international Adrien Rabiot.
However, due to some indecision, Liverpool missed out on the former Juventus star.
Recent reports from France indicate that Rabiot has opted to join Olympique Marseille, passing up the opportunity to move to Liverpool.
This is a missed opportunity for Liverpool, as Rabiot’s abilities could have significantly bolstered the midfield under coach Arne Slot.
The hesitation from Liverpool in pursuing this potential deal was also influenced by the high salary demands of the former Juventus player.
Specifically, Adrien Rabiot was asking for approximately €40 million in wages over three seasons. This is a substantial amount that Liverpool was unwilling to pay.
