On the set of Champions Football Club on Canal+, Laure Boulleau, former PSG player, reacted to the transfer of Adrien Rabiot to OM.
It was an announcement that had the effect of a bomb. After failing to find a club during the summer transfer window,
Adrien Rabiotfree of any contract after his departure from Juventus Turin at the end of last season, has finally chosen to commit for two years to theMarseille Olympics.
Having arrived in Marseille on Monday evening and welcomed like a rock star, the “Duke” signed his new contract on Tuesday after successfully passing his medical examination. Officially an Olympian player, Rabiot then posed with the OM jersey bearing the number 25 that he wore at
PSG. An image that is inevitably a little strange for Parisian supporters, who saw the native of Saint-Maurice (Val-de-Marne) defend their colours 227 times between 2012 and 2019.
Laure Boulleau: “It stings my eyes a little”
On the set of Champions Football Club on Canal+ on Tuesday evening, Laure Boulleau, former PSG full-back, did not hide her surprise at seeing the 29-year-old French international join the Marseille club. “It stings my eyes a little when I see the photo (of Rabiot in the OM jersey), she commented. In fact, he didn’t leave on very good terms, so I want to say that the fans can’t really blame him. It didn’t end very well. I knew him, we were both at PSG. When I was a player, I knew him when he was young. It’s obvious that it hurts my heart a little, but I’m not going overboard.
A completely different story from the former Marseille player Samir Nasri, who is delighted with the arrival of Adrien Rabiot at OM.
I am surprised in a good way, he let go. This is an XXL recruitment. This player, with these qualities, he would have signed in the European Top 8. Having him in Marseille is a real added value. Hats off to Mehdi Benatia, my friend, and to Frank McCourt, who signs the checks, blew away the player trained at OM for Canal+. I don’t care that he’s Parisian. Normally, he should have been treated differently at PSG. I’m happy that he signed for Marseille.”
