Adrien Rabiot

[Bofbro]

In that post above it says PSG wanted us to take on his 250k wages, so not sure about that.

What's that, around £47k a week?

Is it 250k Euros gross and 47k GBP net?

Come on.. He's not earning 250k of any western currency a week.

Florin? Glimmer? Rupees?

I think he's being racist. Not accepting that Turkey is a western nation. Easily worth 250k Turkish Lira

The 250k was monthly - currency was not (from memory) specified.

That would put him not far off the top 10 earners in the world. Can't be true

That's per month mate, so around 62.5k p/w ?

It was Euros. I found it listed similarly in a different link with the funny E

It has to be monthly meaning Rabiot is on £46.7k/wk. Would make this highly unlikely unless we get 1 or 2 CM's off and its a permanant deal. Dont see Daniel paying almost £47k/wk on a 4 or 5 month loan.

BTW, we missed the boat big time. He's been making this since the end of October when he signed a new deal until 2019. Before that, he was on £5k/wk with the contract running out at the end of this year.

The whole Rabiot thing rested on us having cover for Bentaleb and the freedom to offer one or both of Capoue and Dembele for sale.
Great idea. Don't look like it's gonna work.

... not even lira?

Mexican pesos?

 

[kd2000]

Personally for me I don't think we really want this guy, or more importantly don't want him enough to justify having him on loan with no option to buy. There's not much upside for us in this deal. He could take longer than the actual loan to settle and adapt or we develop a player for PSG who will a) sell him in the summer if Blanc is still the manager, maybe even at a high price if he develops well with us. B) PSG keep him if Blanc goes, he gets lots of game time and signs for Real for £50m in 2 years.

... not even lira?

Firstly, I wouldn't consider Turkey as part of 'The West' (and neither would the current government. Indeed, it has steadily shifted eastwards under the AK Party). Secondly, 250 thousand Turkish Lira is still over 70 thousand pounds, which is over 95 thousand Euro. Which is still a lot of money.

Firstly, secondly and thirdly, it was a light hearted joke, I didn't even know that the Italian lira was no longer in circulation, as it's not the center of my universe, and I don't really care, to be honest.

Several international sources now reporting this as dead, with Sevilla and "a German club" still interested in a Rabiot loan.

"Interestingly, another midfielder on Sevilla’s shortlist is Adrien Rabiot, the PSG teenager who has been strongly linked to Spurs this month. Despite reportedly agreeing a deal with Rabiot (who has a clause in his contract allowing him to leave on loan, regardless of PSG’s wishes), Spurs have reportedly pulled out of the running for the 19-year-old because we don’t want to upset PSG. Perhaps that’s because they might take Emmanuel Adebayor off our hands or perhaps it’s because we fear they might take revenge by targeting Christian Eriksen."

I'd say its more likely because the ACON is already half over and we could get Bentaleb back in a week or two, so our need for a loanee is decreasing daily.
