"Barça has always wanted to work with maximum transparency with Paris Saint-Germain and any other club, and the club denies any agreement of any kind with Adrien Rabiot."
Several reports have indicated that Barca have reached an agreement with Adrien Rabiot on his personal conditions in preparation for his upcoming appointment, especially as his contract ends with Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season.
