So as of today the only 2 players who have yet to return are Higuain and Rabiot. Not like we're gonna miss either so they can stay where they are
I read that Alex Sandro, Douglas Cost and Danilo have returned to Italy as well. They are currently at home under the 2 week isolation protocol.
Ha, so right after I post that its reported Rabiot is refusing to come back. Get rid of him and Higuain. I knew Rabiot would be a waste of time and money
Pay cut or no pay cut, it was time to drop him. This just gives us another reason to do so. He adds nothing to midfield. A complete mediocrity.
There is conflicting reports on Rabiot, I'm not jumping to conclusion on whether he is refusing to come back. However, if we can get a transfer for him...I would be open to that!
He was refusing to come back because he didn't agree to the pay cut. He's back now, but he will 100% be sold this summer
Rabiot is one that bit them in the ass. They were tempted by the idea of getting another great player on a free, but you can see why PSG didn't give him a new contract. He is a player that is above-average at his best and by many accounts also has an attitude problem. I know hindsight is 20-20, and injuries come into the equation, but perhaps Sensi would have been the better move.
PSG offered Rabiot a new contract, he refused it. That is why he was frozen out of the squad. Not because he wasn't good enough, he was the starter in the beginning of last year until frozen out.
Many serie A clubs are on strike against the medical protocol set by FIGC and the government. Their issues are with the automatic 15-day quarantine for the whole group if just one player or member of staff contracts COVID-19. They want to follow the Bundesliga model, which would only isolate the person who is positive, then test all the others to ensure it has not spread.
Mid-June for a restart, it looks like: https://www.football-italia.net/153624/spadafora-serie-june-13-or-20
