In recent years, the French U-21 national team has been performing exceptionally well, earning their fans and international selectors high praise for their attacking prowess. However, with the window period closing in France's domestic league system, there is a risk that players might leave due to various reasons such as contracts or personal circumstances.

One such player who could potentially leave the club is Lyon defender Adrien Rabiot, who has been on the market for quite some time now. The 24-year-old has been linked with several clubs across Europe, but his contract at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) was set to expire next summer. With the window period closing, it would be wise for PSG to consider trading Rabiot for a defensive-minded player to strengthen their defense.

There have also been reports that Barcelona's Marc Vidal may be interested in signing Rabiot, with Barcelona currently holding onto him after he signed a new contract extension last year. However, if Rabiot decides to join another club, he will likely look for a transfer fee that can cover his wages and benefits while leaving the club.

Another option for Rabiot to consider is a move to another top-flight European club like Juventus or Liverpool, where he could compete for first-team opportunities alongside other young defenders. It is worth noting that Rabiot himself has expressed interest in joining one of these clubs, suggesting that he is open to exploring different options.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to trade Rabiot or sign another player remains up to the individual player and the club. However, it is clear that Rabiot's departure from the club will not be easy for PSG, given the club's reputation for being one of the most successful clubs in the world. As always, it is important for all parties involved to find a solution that works for everyone.
