“agreement in principle” for Rabiot at OM

Manchester United, Turkey, Milan, Saudi Arabia… The name Adrien Rabiot has been everywhere in recent weeks. It is finally in Ligue 1 that the 29-year-old French international will continue his career. And it is a huge surprise: OM announced this Sunday “having reached an agreement in principle” with him. And to add: “The player will sign with OM subject to the results of the medical examination”. According to various sources, a two-year contract is being discussed. One thing is certain: the former Turin player has made major financial efforts to join OM, currently second in the L1 standings and not involved in the European Cup.

Let us recall that Rabiot left Juventus at the end of last season and his contract. He will therefore sign for OM on a free transfer. This is a huge blow for Olympique de Marseille and more generally for the championship.

From PSG to OM, it’s only a step

Trained at PSG, which he left with losses and fracas in 2019 after having worn the red and blue jersey 227 times (24 goals), Adrien Rabiot played 212 matches in the colors of Juventus (22 goals). A regular starter in the French team, he was not called up for the last gathering due to his contractual situation. “It’s an embarrassing situationrecognized the coach, Didier Deschamps. I hope he will choose quickly to allow him to come back with us.” Rabiot has chosen. He will therefore, barring any surprises, be invited to the next matches of the Blues, against Israel (October 10) and Belgium (October 14), as part of the League of Nations.

Let’s see what Marseille fans think… Perhaps they will remember that Rabiot was more of an OM supporter than a PSG supporter in his younger years, as some of his former teammates said in 2019 in the columns of So Foot … Note that the first Classic of the season is scheduled for September 27, in Marseille. With Rabiot.
