This afternoon, the Olympique de Marseille will take stock of rumours and potential movements during a live show at 11.30 a.m. Departure records include Cornelius, Rowe, Ouahabi, Rabiot, and others, while arrivals from Ordóñez, Zhegrova and Tsimikas face difficulties. The Rabiot case, in particular, is at the heart of the discussions, with information from Romain Molina that nuance the public version of the mother and agent of the player, Véronique Rabiot. According to Molina, Camp Rabiot would not be fully engaged in the continuation of the Marseille project, and Véronique Rabiot did not oppose a departure of his son, but wanted a financially advantageous contractual installation. This situation divides the supporters and weakens the management of the club, raising questions about the financial motivation behind the Rabiot family’s strategy.

At the same time, Jonathan Rowe’s future seems to be sealed. According to Fabrizio Romano, the English winger will join Bologna, where he will pass his medical examination and sign his contract on Friday. The transaction is financially advantageous for OM, allowing the club to realize an added value while maintaining a percentage on a possible future resale by the Italian club. Rowe’s arrival in Marseille last summer was promising, but his altercation with Rabiot after the match against Rennes precipitated his start. OM accepted Bologna’s offer, seduced by the potential of the international English hope, and aims to close this sensitive issue to focus on strengthening other priority sectors, in line with Roberto De Zerbi’s expectations.

Ten days from the end of the mercato, OM will have to act decisively to compensate Rabiot for his departure and strengthen his strength. The Rabiot-Rowe case shook the club, revealing internal tensions and complex financial issues. While Véronique Rabiot denounces a lack of respect and authoritarian management of the club, Romain Molina’s information highlights potential financial calculations behind the Rabiot clan’s strategy. Rowe’s transfer is an important step in Bologna’s recruitment strategy, which continues its ambition after a successful season in Serie A, and leaves OM faced with the need to find solutions to meet its coach’s sporting expectations.
