Pablo Longoria, President of the Olympique de Marseille, took the floor to justify the decision to place Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe on the transfer list. This measure follows a fight in the locker room after the defeat against Rennes. Longoria stressed the seriousness of the facts, calling them unheard of and exceeding acceptable limits within the club. He also stressed the collective experience of management, stressing that such a situation had never been observed before. The club claims to be a victim of an unlimited situation, a completely unheard of fight in the world of football.

The departure of Adrien Rabiot, one year after his arrival at OM, is now official. The club hopes to recover compensation of about 15 million euros over the last year of its contract. Several Italian clubs, including AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus Turin, are closely monitoring the case. AC Milan, led by Massimiliano Allegri, has already shown an interest in the player. Inter Milan, although interested in a powerful midfielder, does not foresee an offensive for Rabiot. The Juventus, where Rabiot has evolved for five seasons, may also be interested, although no official movement has been recorded.

Adrien Rabiot himself seems willing to leave OM, with a preference for a return to England in the Premier League, although a plan B in Serie A is possible. His lawyer confirms the interest of several clubs and points out that Rabiot will have no choice but to make a reason to face the situation. This situation, occurring ten days from the end of the mercato, highlights the club’s sporting difficulties. Other mercato files are also mentioned, such as the rumours Pavard, the Ordóñez dossier, Bennacer’s potential return and Rowe’s departure, illustrating a turbulent mercato for OM.
