Gianluigi Buffon believes Paris Saint-Germain teammate Adrien Rabiot is a blend of Paul Pogba, Arturo Vidal and Claudio Marchisio.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both players are set to leave the\u00a0Parc des Princes this summer with the latter linked to\u00a0Juventus and Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Where next for Rabiot? Five things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Wantaway midfielder Rabiot was frozen out at PSG midway through 2018\/19 after failing to extend his contract.<\/li>\n
  • His present deal expires on July 1 and he says he has held talks with Juventus.<\/li>\n
  • Rabiot also mentioned Man Utd as a potentialy interested party.<\/li>\n
  • But the Old Lady have also been linked with a move for Man Utd\u2019s Paul Pogba.<\/li>\n
  • So it would appear unlikely the club will sign both midfielders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Rabiot has not played football since mid-December having been frozen out by\u00a0Thomas Tuchel after failing to agree fresh terms in Paris, but Buffon certainly saw enough of the Frenchman’s ability to compare him to a trident of his ex-Juve teammates.<\/p>\n

    “Rabiot is incredible, such a great player,” Buffon told the Corriere dello Sport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    “He is also a lovely lad and a fine teammate. I don\u2019t know where the whole media storms surrounding him came from, because the guy I know is world class.<\/p>\n

    “Rabiot is this fantastic mixture: he has the strength of Pogba, who is built like a wardrobe, the courage of Vidal and potentially the dynamism of Marchisio.<\/p>\n

    “He has to improve the timing of his runs into the box but can become someone who scores 10 goals per season.”<\/p>\n
