"Adrian Rabiot's Departure Sought": Following a passionate dispute, the OM intends to sever ties with Adrian Rabiot.
In a surprising turn of events, Olympique de Marseille (OM) has announced that midfielder Adrien Rabiot and his teammate, Englishman Jonathan Rowe, have been placed on the transfer list due to unacceptable behaviour in the locker room after the match against Stade Rennais.
The incident, which took place at Roazhon Park, seems to be a continuation of off-field issues between Rabiot and the club. According to reports, the unacceptable behaviour occurred after a heated argument between Rabiot and Rowe.
The circumstances surrounding the argument are unclear, but there was a lot of commotion and other players were involved. Key players like Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Argentine goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli also raised their voices during the incident.
The incident in the locker room seems to involve OM coach Roberto De Zerbi and sporting director Medhi Benatia trying to intervene. De Zerbi was heard shouting at his players in the locker room, within range of media microphones.
Rabiot's mother and agent have stated that OM management has formally expressed that coach Roberto De Zerbi no longer wishes to work with Rabiot due to a "lack of investment." The "sanction" of placing Rabiot on the transfer list only truly affects him, as Rowe was already set to leave due to the arrival of Brazilian Igor Paixão in his position and his high market value.
The rupture between Rabiot and De Zerbi might have originated during the incident in the locker room. The repeated altercations between Rabiot and Rowe suggest a deeper issue off the field. The incident involving Rabiot and Rowe seems to be used as a pretext to get Rabiot out of the club.
The incident comes at a critical time for OM, as they suffered an inaugural defeat (0-1) in Rennes on Friday, indicating a potential crisis within the club. The actual cause of the split between De Zerbi and Rabiot is not explicitly detailed, but tensions escalated alongside dramatic conflicts involving OM President Pablo Longoria and Sporting Director Medhi Benatia publicly criticizing Rabiot amid transfer issues.
Rabiot and Rowe are said to be shocked by the club's decision to place them on the transfer list. It remains to be seen how this development will impact their future at OM and their careers in football.
