Juventus are ready to open talks with Paris Saint-German for the transfer of midfielder Adrien Rabiot.
Rabiot has only one year left on his contract in the French capital and has so far refused to sign an extension with PSG.
The Frenchman wants regular first team football and Laurent Blanc stated earlier this summer that he cannot provide any guarantees.
Rabiot’s mother, Veronique Rabiot, who also acts as his agent, said last month that his son cannot afford another season warming the bench in Paris.
“Adrien cannot afford to spend another season on the bench”, Veronique said, insisting sporting concerns come before financial issues.
