But, according to sources in France, the player's representatives could open talks with Roma over
a January switch as early as next week.
Arsene Wenger is a
big fan of midfielder Rabiot, who is well down the pecking order at the Parc
des Princes.
It was suggested that the Gunners were on the verge of sealing
a summer transfer deal for the 19-year-old, but he eventually stayed put in
Paris when the window shut.
But he is expected to finally move on in the New Year and
Al-Khelaifi admits he cannot make him stay in the French capital.
He told L'Equipe: "We discussed with Roma
and with other clubs during the window, but nothing was agreed.
"I love this player, he has a great talent, he comes
from our training centre, I am proud of him and I want to keep him.
"For over a year, we have discussed extending his
contract but he does not want to do it.
"He wants to go."
