'These are questions for other clubs' - Valverde refuses to discuss Barca links to PSG's Rabiot

Ernesto Valverde would not be drawn on reports Barcelona are planning to move for Paris Saint-Germain's wantaway midfielder Adrien Rabiot.

The France international, who declined a place on the Les Bleus standby list for the World Cup, has pulled out of contract talks with the Ligue 1 champions and looks set to leave when his contract expires at the end of the season.

PSG sporting director Antero Henrique said the 23-year-old was "indefinitely benched" after the breakdown in negotiations and suggested Barca had made a "disrespectful proposal" for Rabiot.
