It would not be a mistake to let Adrien Rabiot leave Paris Saint-Germain, says club captain Thiago Silva.<\/p>\n
The France midfielder is expected to run down his contract and join Barcelona this summer.<\/p>\n
It is believed Premier League clubs Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool have also expressed an interest in the 23-year-old.<\/p>\n
Rabiot, who is training away from the first-team after reportedly telling club chiefs he won\u2019t sign a new deal, has been a regular starter for PSG over the past three seasons.<\/p>\n
And Silva, 34, appears to have accepted Rabiot\u2019s impending departure from the Parc des Princes.<\/p>\n
He told French outlet Telefoot: “I am not saying it is a mistake.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Adrien and PSG have both decided. It is a shame as he is a good boy, but he has chosen and we must respect it.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow we need a new midfielder as I think it is over with Adrien.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stamford Bridge boss Maurizio Sarri is said to be keen to add another midfielder to his squad following the departure of Cesc Fabregas, though he admits he leaves that side of the business to others.<\/p>\n
Jorginho has been a regular this season, but his boss said he is showing signs of tiredness.<\/p>\n
\u201cJorginho played with me for four seasons, so it\u2019s very difficult for him to improve more,\u201d Sarri said. \u201cHe played very well for 20 matches. He\u2019s the player in the Premier League that touched the highest number of balls, I think.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe in the last two matches he was a bit tired. He moved the ball a bit more slowly than before but I think that\u2019s normal.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou cannot stay at the top for 60 matches, so it\u2019s normal to have a difficult period, when you are not the same as usual. It\u2019s not a big problem but that\u2019s the reason I said we need a replacement for Cesc [Fabregas].\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
