This summer, Adrien Rabiot surprised everyone by signing up with Olympique de Marseille, he who was destined to join a very big European star and perhaps more precisely in the Premier League. Despite everything, Miralem Pjanic totally approved the choice of his former teammate at Juventus: “Adri has played for big clubs and he has just signed for an ambitious club. I can assure you that if he had not been convinced by the project, and the words of Mehdi (Benatia), he would never have signed with OM. He would still have waited and it wouldn't have scared him. Even if it means waiting until the January transfer window to choose the best option. Except that the best option this season was OM. The speeches of Mehdi, the president, the coach weighed in the balance, it is obvious, but once you join a club like OM, a city like Marseille, you can only be happy to play in such an environment, beyond the competitiveness of the team” he confided in comments given to 1899 L'Hebdo.
Pjanic enthusiastic about Rabiot at OM!
For the former Lyonnais, now at CSKA Moscow, OM were able to convince the French international thanks to numerous recruits: “If I'm surprised to see him join Marseille? He was perhaps expecting a different transfer window this summer, but we all noticed that the market was very complicated, football, its economy, are changing… And, in the end, he signed in a very large club, with a great sporting project. OM made a lot of ambitious changes this summer, already through the choice of coach. Longoria and Mehdi (Benatia) have done a huge job to improve the team, bring fresh blood and quality. It was very ambitious. Nobody imagined for a moment at the start of the summer that they were going to bring back this coach and these players. Afterwards, it is the image of what Marseille should be: one of the biggest clubs in France alongside Paris and Lyon. With all these recruits, OM really hit hard. And this must not have gone unnoticed by Adri” he concluded.
