Adrien Rabiot

Juventus

On 1 July 2019, Rabiot signed for Italian champions Juventus on a free transfer. He made his league debut for the club on 24 August, in the team's opening match of the 2019–20 Serie A season, coming on as a second-half substitute for Sami Khedira, in a 1–0 away win over Parma. He scored his first goal for the club on 7 July 2020 – the opening goal in a 4–2 away loss to Milan in Serie A – with a "spectacular finish from the edge of the box – after running with the ball from his own half."

On 9 March 2021, he scored his first Champions League goal with Juventus in a 3–2 win after extra-time against Porto in the 2020–21 UEFA Champions League round of 16; however, Juventus were eliminated on away goals. On 27 June 2023, he signed a one-year contract extension with the club until 2024. On 30 December, he scored the winning goal in a 1–0 victory over Roma.

He left Juventus in July 2024.

Marseille On 17 September 2024, Rabiot signed for French side Marseille on a free transfer.

On 19 August 2025, the club announced that Rabiot, alongside teammate Jonathan Rowe, had been placed on the transfer list due to "unacceptable behavior in the locker room" following Marseille's 1–0 loss away to Rennes. Their altercation was described as an "English pub fight" by manager Roberto De Zerbi, and as "extremely violent" by president Pablo Longoria.

AC Milan On 1 September 2025, Rabiot returned to Serie A, joining AC Milan on a three-year deal. He scored his first goal for the club in an away game against Torino on 8 December and made the score 2–1 in an eventual 2–3 comeback win.

International career

Rabiot was a member of the France U19 side that reached the final of the 2013 UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Lithuania, losing out to Serbia.

On 13 August 2013, aged just 18, Rabiot made his first appearance for the French under-21 team, starting in a 0–0 friendly draw with Germany in Freiburg. He was on standby for the full side's UEFA Euro 2016 squad, but did not make the final cut.

Rabiot made his senior debut for France on 15 November 2016 against Ivory Coast, starting and being replaced by Thomas Lemar after 78 minutes of the 0–0 friendly home draw, due to a hamstring injury. On 17 May 2018, he was put on the reserve list by manager Didier Deschamps for the 2018 FIFA World Cup squad. However, he controversially refused to be put on the standby list, emailing the coach and saying he would not "be able to follow the training programme". French Football Federation president Noël Le Graët commented: "He made a bad decision. He penalises himself and sanctions himself alone."

On 18 May 2021, Rabiot was included in France's 26-man squad for UEFA Euro 2020. He came on as an emergency left-back in the final group game against Portugal due to injuries to Lucas Hernández and Lucas Digne, and retained a starting role as a left wing-back in an untested 3–5–2 formation against Switzerland in the last 16; his side lost in a penalty shoot-out after a 3–3 draw.

On 13 November, Rabiot scored his first international goal in an 8–0 home win over Kazakhstan, which allowed France to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

On 22 November 2022, Rabiot scored France's first goal of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in a 4–1 win over Australia in the group stage. He started in the final against Argentina, but was substituted off in extra-time; France were defeated 4–2 on penalties following a 3–3 draw.

Rabiot was selected to play in UEFA Euro 2024, playing in 5 matches. Before the semi-final against the eventual champions Spain, Rabiot sparked controversy over his comments regarding Lamine Yamal by saying, "...to play the final of a Euro, he'll need to show much more than he has until now." Yamal scored a goal in the match, helping Spain win 2–1 against France and celebrated by yelling "Speak now!" to the camera.

On 14 May 2026, Rabiot was selected in the 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Rabiot and the rest of the squad would finish in fourth place as England national football team won the third-place match 6-4.

Style of play

He is a left-footed midfielder who combines good technique with impressive physical qualities. Rabiot was regarded as a promising player in his youth. He is known for being mobile, hard-working, quick in possession, and for his ability to make late attacking runs off the ball into the penalty box, courtesy of his skilled movement; he is also a composed passer, who possesses good link-up play and dribbling skills in close spaces, which enables him to create chances for teammates. A modern, well-rounded, and versatile player, with good defensive skills, he is also known for being capable of playing in several different midfield positions, including in a deep, creative holding role as a number 6 in front of the defence (however not his favored role), as a box-to-box midfielder, on the right flank, and even as an advanced midfield playmaker, although he usually plays as a left–sided offensive-minded central midfielder, known as the mezzala role in Italian football jargon, which is his preferred position. His Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has also deployed him as a left winger on occasion. Despite his talent and ability, however, he has come under criticism in the media over his behaviour off the pitch, and has also been accused in the media of lacking professionalism, as well as having a poor attitude and a difficult character, which has led him to have conflicts with several of his managers. In addition to his usual roles in midfield, he has also been used as a makeshift full-back or wing-back on occasion.
