Frank McCourt, the owner of OM, did not skimp on the means to be able to offer Adrien Rabiot to his club.
Arrived at
Marseille Olympic In mid-September, to everyone's surprise, Adrien Rabiot was quickly installed as starter by Roberto De Zerbi. The former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder came on as a substitute during the trip to Strasbourg (1-0 defeat) and for the reception at Angers (1-1), before being started against Montpellier (victory 0-5) and during the Classic last Sunday (0-3 defeat).
For the moment, few official figures exist concerning the arrival of the French international in the Marseille city. The “Duke” is quite possibly the highest paid player in the Olympian locker room. However, his salary is well below what he received last season at the
Juventus Turinor around 7.5 million per year. Additionally, number 25 received a significant signing bonus.
Plane, “a financial risk”
“OM, they are on the hook financiallypointed out Christophe Dugarry on the airwaves of RMC. The shareholder has invested a lot, taken a lot of risks. We saw this by seizing the Rabiot opportunity. Taking Rabiot is a financial risk for the club that the shareholder has decided to take. Well done to him, it shows a certain ambition, but it shows what you have to do to have an international level player in your team. »
Adrien Rabiot's salary provides for staggered payments to the next season. This is a progressive system to which must be added a part paid only at the end of the current financial year, in the event of qualification for the next Champions League.
