“I am concentrated on the World Cup, then we’ll see what happens,” replied the midfielder.
The 31-year-old signed a contract with Milan to June 2028, although there is an option to extend for another year after that.
He arrived from Olympique Marseille on deadline day at a cost of €7m plus add-ons, contributing six goals and five assists in 29 Serie A appearances for the Rossoneri.

What happened
Adrien Rabiot, currently a free agent after leaving Olympique de Marseille, has been linked with a move to AC Milan. When asked about the rumours, the French midfielder deflected, stating he is fully concentrated on the World Cup. His comments neither confirm nor deny a potential transfer to the Rossoneri, leaving the situation open ahead of the winter window.
Chance analysis
Rabiot's non-committal response keeps a potential Milan transfer alive without committing either way. For prediction systems, this remains a speculative story: Milan may still pursue the experienced midfielder, but Rabiot's priority signal is international duty, not club football. The situation could resolve quickly once the World Cup concludes.
AC Milan's midfield plans remain uncertain as the Rabiot pursuit stays in limbo with no definitive signal from the player.
Do not assume Rabiot will join Milan imminently; treat the link as speculative until official confirmation, and note that World Cup focus delays any decision.
