Juventus sporting director has confirmed the midfielder's departure from the team

Thiago Motta's arrival as Juventus head coach has not saved some of the Bianconeri players from a change of club environment.

Today marked the official presentation of the ex-Bologna manager, during which Juventus sporting director Cristano Giuntoli announced the departure of midfielder Adrien Rabiot:

"I have read about players who have dropped out of the squad, but this is not the case. I want to clarify that they are all part of Juventus. They are all good guys. The market is still there and we will make a choice at the end. Finally, I would like to thank Rabiot. His contract expired on 30 June and we want to wish him a happy future," Giuntoli is quoted by Calciomercato.

One of the Turin club bosses also emphasised that the team will need reinforcements in every position and Juventus' aim is to create a competitive squad.
