If Thiago isn't coming on a free then I don't mind this transfer as it adds further depth to midfield.

Mou bidding to poach Ancelotti's protoge.

Scouts at the big guns across Europe, including José Mourinho's Chelsea, have long been casting admiring glances at a highly rated French starlet by the name of Adrien Rabiot, who can operate either in midfield or in defence.

Mourinho is such a big fan of the 19-year-old that Chelsea have approached PSG over a possible deal, but so far their attempts have proven fruitless. The Ligue I champions' deep pockets are well known, so if they do decide to sell him, he won't come cheap.

Coincidentally, current Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti was the man who gave Rabiot his breakthrough at the top level. During his time at Paris Saint-Germain, the Italian coach handed the youngster his first-team debut when he was just 17.
