The Olympique de Marseille is going through a tumultuous period following an altercation between Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe, which led the club to place them both on the transfer list. This decision, described as “inevitable” by Pablo Longoria, intervenes in a context where OM seeks to manage internal tensions and optimize its workforce. The situation is all the more delicate as Rabiot, despite his leadership role in the team last season, is attracting increasing interest from several European clubs, notably Italian (Inter Milan, Juventus, AC Milan) and Turkish (Galatasaray), as well as a new Saudi contender, Al-Ittihad.
The discussions about Rabiot’s departure are particularly lively in Italy, with rumours of exchanges including Ismรซl Bennacer to reduce the financial impact of the transaction. The interest of AC Milan is notable, with Massimiliano Allegri enjoying the profile of the French community. In Turkey, Galatasaray closely follows the case, with Rabiot at the top of the list of alternatives if their priority, Ilkay Gรผndoฤan, does not materialize. Al-Ittihad’s offer, led by Laurent Blanc, is a financially lucrative option that could compete with European contenders.
Adrien Rabiot’s future remains uncertain, with several possible leads: a transfer to Serie A, an adventure in Turkey or a departure to Saudi Arabia. This complex situation, combining internal tensions, multiple interests and mercato opportunities, underscores the importance of the next days for OM in order to find a solution that will structure the workforce for the 2025 season and turn the page on this striking episode.
