Adrien Rabiot Is 'Essential' for PSG Amid Exit Rumours, Says Thomas Tuchel

Paris Saint-Germain boss Thomas Tuchel feels Adrien Rabiot is "essential" to the team amid rumours he is wanted by the likes of Barcelona, Chelsea and Juventus.

Per Goal's Peter Hanson, Rabiot is in the final year of his contract with PSG and interested Barca in the summer ahead of reports linking him with Chelsea, Juve and Bayern Munich.

Tuchel evidently wants the midfielder to stay put, though. He told RMC Sport (h/t Hanson):

"I love working with Rabiot. I really like Adrien, he had a difficult situation when he voluntarily missed the World Cup, but his effort with the team has been maximum.
