Operation Rabiot: Barcelona don't want a repeat of Griezmann case Transfer Market - LaLiga Santander PSG want 15 million euros for the Frenchman

Barcelona are hoping to complete the signing of Adrien Rabiot from Paris Saint-Germain in the coming days.

However, the optimism the Blaugrana enjoyed over the Christmas holidays has now turned into constant worry.

The Frenchman has previously said that he wants a move to the Catalan giants, but the deal is not set in stone just yet.

Interest from other European clubs such as Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Manchester City will not go away, and the player's mother is playing with potential suitors.

With his contract running out in June, Rabiot is expected to cost Barcelona 10 million euros a year in wages , plus bonuses of the same value, but there are other clubs who are willing to pay the same amount.

PSG are hoping to cash in on the 23-year-old this month, valuing him at 15 million according Paris United.

Barcelona are expected to step up their pursuit of the midfielder in the next few days and close a deal for the player who didn't travel to Qatar with PSG.

After what happened with Antoine Griezmann last summer, Barcelona are looking to avoid a repeat of a similar situation where they could lose out on their target.
