The 24-year-old French midfielder endured a tough season with PSG but he is all set to reignite his career in Italy. Besides Juventus, Rabiot had also been linked to moves to Manchester United and Arsenal. However, the player ultimately chose to sign for Juventus.

From PSG's youth academy, the midfielder had made 227 appearances for the senior side in all competitions. He also lifted six Ligue 1 trophies and four Coupe de France titles with PSG.

What's next?

Juventus have signed numerours players on free transfers over the last few seasons. Earlier, they had completed the signing of Aaron Ramsey from Arsenal on a free transfer too. With the addition of Rabiot, the Bianconeri are becoming serious contenders for the UEFA Champions League in the upcoming season.
