Rabiot meets with mother-agent Veronique as Napoli circle around Milan midfielder

By admin — In News — July 12, 2026

   ​Adrien Rabiot has held a meeting with his mother and agent Veronique in the United States as he contemplates his next move at club level, with Napoli and former Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri said to be eager to reunite with the France international. Rabiot is currently with the France squad in the United States, preparing for the 2026 World Cup semi-final against Spain on Tuesday evening.
At the club level, Rabiot remains under contract with Milan through the summer of 2028, but his future is far from settled after a single season at San Siro that ended on a sour note. The Rossoneri failed to secure Champions League qualification, and the season concluded with the departure of Allegri, who had brought Rabiot to the club from Marseille.
Since Allegri’s appointment as Napoli’s head coach, rumors have circulated that he would like to bring Rabiot with him to the Partenopei. The two share a long-standing relationship, dating back to their Juventus days together.
Milan’s official stance is clear: the club, along with new head coach Ruben Amorim, wants to retain Rabiot. He was widely regarded as one of Milan’s most reliable performers in the 2025-26 campaign, contributing five goals and six assists in Serie A.
Photographs from the 2025 season show Rabiot thriving in Milan’s setup, celebrating goals and delivering consistent performances. La Gazzetta dello Sport notes that, for now, Rabiot does not intend to leave Milan and is aware of his two-year contract on the table at San Siro. Yet the door remains ajar, as the situation could still evolve depending on Napoli’s next move and whether Milan receives a compelling offer from Napoli or another suitor.
With Rabiot focused on his World Cup campaign, no definitive club decision is expected until his national team duties conclude. However, the weekend meeting in the United States between Rabiot and his mother-agent Veronique underscored that potential options are being explored for the 2026-27 season. In Italy, reports from multiple outlets assert that Milan remains committed to keeping the midfielder, who has been a key figure for the club and a backbone of their midfield during the 2025-26 campaign.
The storyline continues to develop as Napoli weigh their approach and Milan assess the best path forward for Rabiot. The outcome will hinge on whether Napoli step forward with an attractive proposal and whether Milan receive a bid that aligns with their strategic plans and Rabiot’s contractual terms, keeping the door open for a possible reunion in the near future. This evolving scenario will likely shape the midfielder’s club status once the World Cup schedule allows for a final decision.
