Le Parisien claimed the midfielder will leave PSG for Spain in the coming weeks and even hinted the 23-year-old could face Lyon in the last-16 of the Champions League.
Rabiot had rejected a number of contract offers from the Ligue 1 champions. PSG sporting director Antero Henrique later confirmed Rabiot wants to leave Parc des Princes at the end of the season.
“At this point, he won’t be staying,” Henrique told Yahoo Sport. “It was a decision made by the club following a meeting I had with the player.”
The move will be a disappointment for Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea, who were all said to be interested in securing his signature.
