The 29-year-old enjoyed great success at the club by winning a Serie A title, the Coppa Italia twice, and the Supercoppa Italiana.
Last season, Rabiot reached a milestone of 200 appearances for Juventus, becoming only the fifth French player in the club’s history to achieve this feat.
In total, he amassed 212 appearances, ranking him third among all-time French appearance makers for Juventus, alongside Zinedine Zidane. Only Michel Platini (224) and David Trezeguet (320) have played more times for the club among French players.
His overall career
Rabiot’s career began at Paris Saint-Germain where he debuted with the first team in 2012. During his time at PSG, he won a total of eighteen major honours, including five Ligue 1 titles and a domestic treble in 2015–16 and 2017–18.
In 2019, Rabiot joined Juventus on a free transfer and quickly made an impact, winning the Serie A title in his first season and the Coppa Italia in his second.
Having represented France 53 times at youth level, Rabiot made his senior team debut in 2016. He went on to participate in major tournaments such as UEFA Euro 2020, the 2022 FIFA World Cup (where France finished as runners-up), and Euro.
