The Turin club said the 24-year-old would be presented at Juventus stadium on Tuesday.
Although no details were provided by his new employers, Rabiot is reported to have agreed a four-year contract worth seven million euros ($7.9 million) a year plus another 10 million euro ($11.3m) bonus on signing.
Rabiot had fallen out of favour with PSG and not played since December as he refused to renew his contract. It expired on Sunday.
Rabiot was also suspended by the French champions in March after partying in a nightclub hours following PSG’s Champions League exit to Manchester United.
In Turin he will play alongside five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo in a Juventus side now coached by former Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri.
Rabiot had played his entire senior career with PSG since 2012 apart from a brief loan spell with Toulouse, and has won five Ligue 1 titles and four French Cup trophies with the capital side.
He has six international caps but has not played for France since refusing to go on the standby list for the 2018 World Cup.
