Rabiot: Buffon, Ronaldo key to choosing Juventus

Adrien Rabiot admits the chance to play with Cristiano Ronaldo was a factor in signing for Juventus.

The former PSG midfielder signed for Juve yesterday in a whirlwind deal.

"Everything has materialised recently. Juve has a great history and many French players have passed through here, I hope to do my bit," he said this morning.

"After seven years in Paris, I am ready to play in Serie A and I will do it with the same determination as always.

"I have not yet been able to speak with (Maurizio) Sarri but all the people of Juve have given me a splendid impression."

Rabiot admits former PSG goalkeeper Gigi Buffon influenced his decision.

"He has told me a lot about this club and his opinion has been very important.

"The fact of being able to play with Cristiano Ronaldo has also influenced my decision."
