Arsenal reportedly turned down the chance to sign Adrien Rabiot over the weekend before Marseille agreed in principle to sign the free agent.
Rabiot, 29, has been available since leaving Juventus in July, and a host of Premier League teams were reputedly reminded of his availability recently. The former Manchester City player reputedly wanted a return to England this summer, but that will seemingly not materialise.
He arrived in southern France on Monday night before completing a move to the Ligue 1 club despite spending almost a decade at their rivals Paris Saint-Germain after being born in the capital’s suburbs. Rabiot made over 200 appearances for PSG across seven seasons, winning Ligue 1 five times before moving to Serie A.
