Adrien Rabiot has not been offered a new contract by Paris Saint-Germain, according to the France international s mother and agent.
Rabiot s contract with PSG ends on June 30, with the midfielder to become a free agent after spending seven seasons in the Ligue 1 club s first team.
The 24-year-old has not played since December amid a dispute with PSG following his refusal to sign a new deal.
Serie A club Juventus are rumoured to be leading the chase to sign Rabiot, but reports on Wednesday suggested PSG s new sporting director Leonardo had been in touch with a renewed offer which was subsequently refused.
But Rabiot s mother Veronique who also acts as his agent has refuted the claims, insisting her son will be leaving Paris.
I want to issue a formal denial, she told broadcaster RTL.
I ve read that Adrien didn t show up for a meeting with Leonardo or that he refused an extension.
It s absolutely false, there was no conversation between Leonardo and I. I ve spoken to him on the phone once since he came back and we said goodbye politely.
There was no offer before, there isn t one now and there won t be one. There hasn t been even a slight change.
Good morning Adrien Rabiot

Juve sporting director Fabio Paratici confirmed the club s interest in Rabiot during a news conference to present Maurizio Sarri on June 20.
Rabiot s mother, however, did not offer up any further detail on a potential move to Italy, with her son having also been linked to Manchester United.
You know, in football we re very superstitious, she added. It s better to say as little as possible while nothing is done.
