Report: Barcelona in Pole Position for Adrien Rabiot, Star in 'Cold War' at PSG

Barcelona are reportedly leading the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot, who is said to be "fighting a cold war" at the Parc des Princes.

Mundo Deportivo(h/tSport Witness) reported tensions between PSG and Rabiot—whose contract at PSG expires in June—are at a high after he was benched for Wednesday's 2-1 UEFA Champions League win over Liverpool.

However, Sport Witness also mentioned PSG manager Thomas Tuchel told RMC Sport that Rabiot's expiring contract had nothing to do with him being dropped to the bench against the Reds.
