With 10 days left before the end of the transfer window, Rabiot was included in the leaving list from the Marseille core due to a conflict. According to French media "The Team" report, players are confused by the club's decision and cannot accept questions about their professionalism and level of commitment.
Many players in the Marseille locker room were also puzzled by the club's decision, and Rabiot also expressed his dissatisfaction to those around him, emphasizing his efforts for Marseille, whether on or off the court, and his determination to stay for another season in order to participate in the Champions League.
Before the incident, Rabiot was not just a player in Marseille, he often communicated with Marseille director Benatia. As a star and international, Rabiot has also become a mentor to other players. The club's senior management appreciates the players' character. It is often said that a gentleman like Rabiot does not need to sign a contract, and a handshake is enough, because trust is everything.
is currently in Marseille, and although Rabiot's performance after his return from the holiday is not satisfactory, according to the club, the reasons that prompted them to make the decision are related to the clashes between Rabiot and Jonathan Love in the locker room after losing against Rennes, and that's all.
However, Rabiot denied this statement. They say such a situation can happen in all the big clubs in the world and should be handled internally, sporting or financial penalties rather than firing players so important to the team. People around Rabiot said: "I won't drive away someone because of this."
reported that although Marseille and Rabiot were still publicly expressing their trust in each other a few weeks ago, this was not the case. Rabiot signed with Marseille for two years last year, when the two sides reached an agreement: If the player is not satisfied, he can leave the team freely in June.
However, a year later, Rabiot said he was very happy in Marseille, so he chose to stay, but the situation next became a bit confusing. Rabiot has been negotiating with club executives for weeks on a contract extension, but progress has been slow. Some believe that Marseille hopes to use the "Ren incident" to sell Rabiot, so as to complete another deal before the transfer window is closed.
According to the "Team", Marseille hopes to get at least 15 million euros from Rabiot's transfer, but their position in the negotiations is not an advantage. Milan coach Allegri has shown interest in Rabiot, and some Saudi clubs are also interested.
