PSG Boss Shuns Liverpool Transfer Target Indefinitely

Paris Saint Germain (PSG) manager Thomas Tuchel has shunned midfielder Adrien Rabiot amidst the intense transfer links about an exit from the club.

The Daily Express revealed that Adrien Rabiot has been banned by Thomas Tuchel from coming near the team on matchdays until the uncertainty surrounding him has been resolved.

Tuchel has been told by the club’s sporting director Antero Henrique that Adrien Rabiot should not feature in the PSG Matchday squads until further notice.

Henrique has earlier revealed that the player would be frozen out of the PSG team as the consequence for turning down several contract offers from the French capital club.
