Adrien Rabiot’s future at the Olympique de Marseille is uncertain after a period of exclusion. Following statements by Roberto De Zerbi, OM coach, the possibility of reintegration is open. De Zerbi expressed his hope for reconciliation, stressing the value not only of the player but also of the person he is, despite a past mistake. This statement surprised the management of the club, which greatly appreciates Rabiot, and the locker room wants it reinstated. The coach mentioned a delicate situation and the player apologized, but his situation now depends on a quick institutional decision, with only eight days left before the end of the mercato.

This follows the incident that led to Jonathan Rowe’s departure for Bologna. The English winger left OM brutally after a violent altercation in the locker room with Adrien Rabiot, which occurred after a defeat against Rennes. The event shook the locker room and prompted management to consider leaving quickly to ease tensions. Twenty-one-year-old Rowe is expected in Bologna as a player capable of bringing percussion and creativity into the offensive phase, with potential to develop in Serie A.

In summary, OM is faced with a crucial choice regarding Adrien Rabiot: either keep him away or reopen the door to his reintegration. The opinion of the locker room, the coach’s support and the player’s willingness to stay are all elements that argue for him. At the same time, Jonathan Rowe found a new opportunity in Bologna, after a hasty departure from OM following the incident with Rabiot. The management of these files will be closely monitored by fans and observers of the Marseille club in a demanding season.
