Adrien Rabiot's impressive performance for France in their World Cup opener has done little to clarify his future at AC Milan. The midfielder's role at the club has been a subject of speculation since Massimiliano Allegri's departure. New coach Ruben Amorim has apparently identified Rabiot as a key player to build around for the upcoming season.

Rabiot's current contract and high salary make him a challenging target for potential suitors, including Napoli who are keen on reuniting him with former Juventus boss Allegri. However, Milan are unlikely to part with the 1995-born midfielder for less than 20 million euros, making a transfer a complicated affair.

Amorim's interest in retaining Rabiot could see him become a central figure in Milan's future plans. The Portuguese coach's approach might just persuade the French international to stay and help the team rebuild.

Milan's stance on Rabiot's valuation and his existing wage packet will be crucial in determining his future at the club.
