The heart of the game was one of the summer projects of president Pablo Longoria and his sports advisor Medhi Benatia at OM this summer. And two weeks after the transfer window closed, Adrien Rabiot arrived in Marseille through his now former free agent status. The French international will be a choice reinforcement in midfield, which would lead to the repositioning of Geoffrey Kondogbia in central defense. Which would not displease the main interested party.
Adrien Rabiot was without a club since leaving the club on a free transfer. Juventus in the off-season. After the‘Euro lost in the semi-final againstSpain with lFrench team (2-1), the French international was announced on the side of theAC Milan and of the Premier Leaguewithout success. The Parisian kid who had left the PSG in summer 2019 for the Juve has therefore taken the decision to join the‘OM in mid-September.
A repositioning of Kondogbia to prepare the ground for Rabiot in the middle
A choice that Marquinhoscaptain of the PSGdeclined to comment at a news conference ahead of the first regular-season game of Champions League of Paris Saint–Germain against Girona (1-0). At theOM, Adrien Rabiot could integrate the double pivot in the midfield concocted by Roberto De Zerbi alongside Rock–Emile Hojbjerg thanks to a possible repositioning of Geoffrey Kondogbia in central defense as was already the case against theOL last Sunday. Last week, the coach of Olympique de Marseille had already teased. “We also have midfielders who can strengthen our defense, like Geoffrey (Kondogbia), who sometimes occupied this position at Atletico Madrid.”
“The only thing that matters to him is to be part of this adventure and to contribute to OM’s success”
In the columns of Provence, the testimony of a relative of Geoffrey Kondogbia goes in this direction. The Central African international, although he would like to mark his territory in the midfield of the starting eleven of Roberto De Zerbiis ready to respond whatever his position and in particular in the Marseille rearguard. “He is a competitor. The only thing that matters to him is to be part of this adventure and contribute to OM’s success, no matter where he has to play.”
