Rabiot, in Free Fall: Marseille Declares Him Transferable, What Happened?

Follow the descent into the abyss of Adrien Rabiot in his professional career. Although no one doubts that the French midfielder is a player of great quality when he is at his best, the truth is that his performance has been overshadowed by several behavioral problems and friction with his coaches, making him an extremely controversial footballer.

Now, in his time at Olympique de Marseille, the situation has not been different. Recently, the Saint-Maurice native, who was one of the franchise players of the team led by Roberto De Zerbi, had a fight with his teammate Jonathan Rowe, after a difficult start to the season in which the Marseillais were defeated by Stade Rennais FC (1-0).

Rabiot and Rowe: Transferable After Conflict in Marseille

The clash between both players motivated the current runner-up of Ligue 1 to make a radical decision: Rabiot and Rowe have been included in the list of transferable players. This was confirmed by the club in a statement:

"Olympique de Marseille has announced that Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe have been included in the club's list of transferable players. This decision was made due to unacceptable behavior in the dressing room after the match against Stade Rennais FC, according to the technical staff and the club's internal code of conduct. The decision was communicated to the players this Monday."

Rabiot Seeks New Club Before the Summer Market Closes: Will He Find It?

Faced with this, Rabiot must look for a new destination this summer. Despite having been one of the best players of De Zerbi's team last season, key to qualifying for the 2025/26 Champions League, with 10 goals and six assists in 31 matches, this disciplinary conflict sets a precedent: the institution is above any footballer.

The question now is whether Rabiot will be able to find a club before the 2025/26 summer market closes. This move would not only affect his footballing progress, but it is also key for a World Cup year, where adding minutes and maintaining competitive rhythm is essential. If he does not find a destination, he could be left out of a possible call-up to Les Bleus.

Possible Destinations: AC Milan as an Option?

For the moment, the only club linked is AC Milan, due to his connection with coach Massimiliano Allegri, with whom he coincided at Juventus. In a recent interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Rabiot admitted that he "still feels him" and that if the coach called him, he would be willing to talk to him. Will the signing happen? Only time will tell.
