AC Milan manager Rúben Amorim has confirmed that Adrien Rabiot will remain at the club, putting an end to growing speculation over the French midfielder’s future following Massimiliano Allegri’s departure.
Softfootball understands that Rabiot joined Milan in 2025 and became the subject of transfer speculation during the summer, with questions surrounding his place in the club’s plans after the change in management. However, Amorim has personally made it clear that the midfielder remains an important part of his project and has assured him of his value to the team.
The Portuguese coach has also identified a new role for Rabiot, moving him further forward into an attacking midfield position. Amorim believes the 31-year-old can use his physical strength, intelligence, passing ability and late runs into the box to make a greater contribution in the final third.
That decision immediately produced positive results in Milan’s opening Serie A fixture against Torino. Rabiot started the match on the bench but made a major impact after coming on, scoring a goal and providing an assist as Milan fought their way to a 2-1 victory.
His performance offered an early indication of why Amorim is determined to keep him at San Siro. Rather than viewing Rabiot simply as a defensive or box-to-box midfielder, the new Milan boss appears ready to maximise his attacking qualities.
Milan are now expected to begin discussions over a contract extension as they look to secure Rabiot’s future for the long term. The club’s willingness to negotiate improved terms underlines how highly Amorim rates the experienced midfielder.
For Rabiot, the change represents a fresh opportunity to become an influential figure in Amorim’s new-look Milan side. After a summer filled with uncertainty, the midfielder now appears firmly committed to the Rossoneri’s project.
His strong impact against Torino could prove to be the beginning of an important new chapter at Milan under Amorim.
