Juventus midfielder Rabiot: I am a leader on the pitch

Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot says he's happy to take on a leadership role with club and country.

Rabiot comes off contract at Juve this summer.

“I'll be honest, I know nothing about it," said the France international. "As a man I like to travel, to discover other cultures and in Italy I'm very happy, it's a country I like. But then I leave every option open, and we'll see what happens in a few months.

“I like discovering new things, but football and the sporting challenge remain the most important elements of my choice."

Rabiot also said: “I am a leader on the pitch and I don't have a problem with taking on big responsibilities. You can be in the dressing room without necessarily having the captain's armband. The coach has decided that Mbappe will be captain and that's fine."
