Chelsea boss Tuchel keen on reunion with Rabiot as Mum opens Barcelona talks

Chelsea are watching Adrien Rabot's situation at Juventus.

Calciomercato.com says Rabiot's mother and agent Veronique has already begun negotiations with Barcelona, but Blues boss Thomas Tuchel is also interested in bringing him to Stamford Bridge.

The Frenchman, who has played 41 times in all competitions for the Italian giants this season, would be available for around £17million in the summer transfer window.

The 14-cap international, 26, signed for the Bianconeri on a free transfer from Tuchel's Paris Saint-Germain side in July 2019.

Tuchel said back in 2018: "For me he is a great player and can become a top player," and although Rabiot was frozen out due to contractual reasons, the German is still keen on a reunion.
