In a stunning turn of events, Adrien Rabiot has officially chosen to don the coveted number 12 shirt as he embarks on a new chapter with AC Milan this season. The French midfielder’s transfer from Marseille has sent waves of excitement through the Rossoneri fan base, and now, with his jersey number confirmed, the anticipation only intensifies.
This announcement, confirmed by Sky, reveals that Rabiot will take on the number 12, a jersey that has remained unclaimed since Ante Rebic departed the club in 2023. The number carries historical significance within the club, having previously been worn by notable players such as Andrea Conti, Christian Abbiati, and the legendary goalkeeper Dida. Traditionally, the number 12 has been associated with Milan’s second-choice goalkeeper, but Rabiot is poised to break that mold as a dynamic midfielder.
The timing of Rabiot’s arrival couldn’t be more dramatic. Fresh off his international duties with the French national team, he is set to land in Italy today. His departure from Marseille was marked by controversy, following a dressing room altercation with Jonathan Rowe, who recently signed with Bologna. The fallout from that incident led to both players being suspended and subsequently sold, highlighting the urgency of Rabiot’s transfer to Milan.
Adding an exciting twist, Milan is scheduled to face Bologna this Sunday in what promises to be a thrilling match-up. With Rabiot and Rowe potentially starting for their respective teams, the clash will not only be a test of skill but also a dramatic narrative as the two players confront their recent pasts.
As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on Rabiot to see how he embraces his new role at Milan, wearing a number steeped in history and expectations. The Rossoneri faithful are eager to witness how this talented midfielder will integrate into the squad and contribute to the team’s ambitions in Serie A. With Rabiot’s arrival, Milan is gearing up for an electrifying season filled with promise and potential.
