Rabiot's mother criticizes MU

Adrien Rabiot's mother reveals why the French midfielder's transfer to Manchester United in 2022 fell through.

Rabiot is represented by his mother, Veronique, who is known for her tough negotiating style.

According to Manchester Evening News , Manchester United wanted to sign Adrien Rabiot in the summer of 2022, but the deal fell through due to financial problems. Recently, Veronique Rabiot - mother and agent of the French midfielder - criticized the way MU handled the negotiations, saying that the "Red Devils" had made insulting demands.

Speaking to L'Equipe, Veronique said: “That year, Adrien was willing to leave Juventus - the team that qualified for the Champions League - to join MU, even though they were not allowed to participate in this tournament. The two sides discussed the terms, but in the end MU said that 'if the club does not qualify for the Champions League next season, Adrien's salary will be reduced'. I found that excessive and very disrespectful.”

“I said, ‘That’s it, let’s stop here.’ They thought we were asking for more money, but no, it was a matter of principle, not money,” Veronique also confirmed.

It is known that in recent years, MU often includes a clause to reduce wages if the club does not win a ticket to the Champions League. However, Rabiot's mother firmly refused this proposal, causing the deal to reach a deadlock.

MU then turned to recruit Casemiro from Real Madrid for 70 million pounds and paid a salary of 300,000 pounds/week for the Brazilian midfielder.
