Adrien Rabiot has not been out of the news at Paris Saint-Germain this week -- and not because of his performances on the pitch. The French midfielder has been sidelined by the club after refusing to extend his contract as he looks for a new adventure, which could be in Barcelona.
The questions in the mixed zone after Tuesday's League Cup game were constance. In this case, it was Marquinhos and Thiago Silva who had to respond. The former said it was a "complicated" situation but lamented the possible loss of Rabiot: "It's a shame, because he's a friend. We've grown together at PSG, but he took his decision. The club took theirs and there's nothing to add."
Thiago Silva, meanwhile, said: "Even if he doesn't play, I will stay by his side, because he's a good guy and I have a lot of respect for him. He's a great friend." The Brazilian, though, also asked for respect for the club: "The team is more important than all the players and a decisions been taken and it must be respected."
Rabiot may not have the support of the supporters -- who revealed a banner against him on Tuesday -- but he does have the backing of his teammates, it seems.

Why be sad about Adrian Rabiot departure? It will make room for the Club to sign greater quality midfielders. Rabiot didn't make France World Cup starting 11 and was furious because of it. He refused France and they received the World Cup 🥇. Rabiot refusing PSG is a wonderful sign for the Club.

When he was on our team he made very good purchases with a very limited budget, he's a cunt, but a very good cunt that sadly left us.

This is one of those times where putting the question in the quote doesn't really work. Makes it sound like Silva agrees that Di Maria and Marquinhos shouldn't have played there. putting the question in the quote is probably my most hated thing on this sub. Most of the time I don't mind it so much, but this one really editorializes the quote.

Rabiot is also good enough imo. Compare it to Liverpool's midfield, Henderson, Milner and Wjinaldum. He's around their level. Quality wasnt the issue but the compilation itself.
