Adrien Rabiot is reportedly a target for Napoli following the anticipated appointment of Massimiliano Allegri as their new manager, according to reports in Italy. The connection stems from their successful working relationship at Juventus, where Allegri consistently utilized Rabiot as a key component in his midfield.
Rabiot and Allegri previously spent three seasons together at Juventus, with the midfielder making 128 appearances and scoring 16 goals. During this time, Rabiot established himself as a dynamic and influential player, known for his ability to break lines and provide both physicality and leadership in midfield. His departure from Turin coincided with Allegri’s own exit from the club.
Following his time with Juventus, Rabiot returned to his former club Marseille, but his spell was short-lived and marked by a difficult relationship with the club’s supporters. He then joined Milan, reuniting with Allegri, but the club’s recent instability could prompt the player to seek a new opportunity. Reports suggest the situation at Milan has not gone unnoticed by Rabiot.
Napoli currently possesses a crowded midfield featuring players such as Kevin De Bruyne, Billy Gilmour, Stanislav Lobotka, Scott McTominay, and Juan Vergara. However, the potential departures of André-Frank Anguissa and Elmas could create space in the squad. Sources close to the club indicate that Napoli are monitoring the situation at Milan and considering a move for Rabiot, given Allegri’s strong interest in the player. This potential transfer could see Rabiot once again playing under a manager who clearly values his contributions.
