Adrien Rabiot extends Juventus deal until 2024

Adrien Rabiot has signed a one-year extension to his Juventus contract until 2024, the Serie A club said on Tuesday. France midfielder Rabiot will reportedly earn a net salary of seven million euros next season after deciding to stay in Turin following his best campaign since arriving from Paris Saint-Germain in 2019.

The 28-year-old was one of the few bright spots of a troubled season for Juve which ended with no trophies and a seventh placed-finish in Italy’s top flight He scored a personal best of 11 goals for Juve in all competitions, setting up six more, and was a fixture in France’s run to the World Cup final.

Juve’s low league placing was due to a 10-point deduction for illicit transfer activity, and Rabiot has decided to stay at a club which might not have European football next term despite earning a spot in the the Europa Conference League.

The Turin giants could be banned from Europe for a season by UEFA for allegedly misleading European football’s governing body when negotiating a “settlement agreement” following breaches of Financial Fair Play rules.
