Paris Saint-Germain reportedly told midfielder Adrien Rabiot to go and sign for Barcelona after they became frustrated with the player during contract negotiations.
According to Paris United (h/t Sport), there was tension between the club's sporting director Antero Henrique and Rabiot's camp during talks in the summer.
It's said that after growing annoyed at the lack of progress made over an extension, Henrique told Rabiot's representatives he should move to Barcelona if he could agree a deal. The Blaugrana have long been linked with the midfielder, whose terms at the Parc des Princes run out at the end of this campaign.
