Marseille Places Rabiot and Rowe on Transfer List Following Dressing Room Brawl

In a surprising turn of events, Olympique de Marseille has taken disciplinary action against midfielder Adrien Rabiot and English winger Jonathan Rowe, placing them on the transfer list. This decision comes in the wake of an unacceptable post-match altercation and dressing-room fight that occurred following Marseille's 1-0 Ligue 1 loss to Stade Rennais last week.

Despite Rennes playing most of the game with ten men, the incident escalated into a physical confrontation between Rabiot and Rowe in the dressing room after the match. The details of the altercation have not been disclosed in the club's statement.

The club's decision to place Rabiot and Rowe on the transfer list was taken in agreement with the technical staff and in accordance with the club’s internal code of conduct. This public disciplinary action underscores the severity of the incident, which has also cast uncertainty over the players' futures at the club.

Both Rabiot and Rowe joined Marseille last year and played regularly during the 2020-2021 Ligue 1 season. The club communicated the decision to place them on the transfer list to the players on Monday.

Marseille finished second in Ligue 1 during the 2020-2021 season, securing a spot in the Champions League. However, this latest development could potentially disrupt the team's preparations for the upcoming season.

As the situation unfolds, fans and football enthusiasts alike will be watching closely to see how this incident affects the future of Rabiot, Rowe, and Marseille.
