Rabiot and AC Milan: Contract Renewal Talks and Details

AC Milan Prepares Contract Extension Talks

AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale plans to open discussions regarding a contract extension for Rabiot during upcoming meetings in Milan, as reported by Italian sports media. The proposed deal aims to extend the French midfielder’s stay beyond the current expiration date of June 2028—which includes an option for 2029—pushing his commitment through to at least 2030.

With Rabiot celebrating his 32nd birthday in April, a multi-year renewal would likely see the former Juventus player finish his career at the highest level in red and black. His representation is managed by his mother, Veronique Rabiot.

From Marseille Discount to Rossoneri Staple

Rabiot joined Milan on September 1, 2025, for a transfer fee of seven million euros following a falling out at Marseille with former teammate Rowe, which prompted coach Roberto De Zerbi to distance both players from the squad. Marseille had originally signed Rabiot on a free transfer after his contract with Juventus expired.

During his debut season in Serie A, Rabiot started 29 league matches, playing every minute without being substituted, missing only five games due to a calf injury sustained while on international duty and two matches due to suspension.

Tactical Flexibility Under the New Technical Staff

While initially starting the current campaign from the bench following extended summer leave, Rabiot quickly regained his starting status. Manager Amorim initially deployed him as an attacking midfielder—a role De Zerbi had previously tested him in at Marseille—before returning him to a central midfield role alongside his defensive duties.

Rabiot publicly confirmed his commitment to the club, stating, “Never thought about leaving Milan, I am happy here,” distinguishing himself from other team leaders who avoided public declarations regarding their futures.
