Adrien Rabiot surprised the football world by joining OM at the end of the summer. The discussions were clear between the player's representatives and the Olympian managers: “Madame Rabiot was great, perhaps because Mehdi Benatia knew her son and perhaps he had explained his way of thinking to him beforehand. She only thinks about her son's well-being, she wanted to understand the project, even if it was Adrien who was immediately receptive to it. She looked at the edges: the safety, the well-being of her son. Not painful at all, super square. »
“She was great with us”
And to continue: “We know that there have been disputes in other clubs where big money was being talked about. She immediately understood that we were not that kind of club and that we would not go in a direction that we could not handle. Things were very clear from the start. Adrien knew this very well. It was very far from her expectations, but she was great with us. »
OM struck a major blow by signing the former Turin player. His duo with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg should gradually gain strength and stabilize the Marseille midfield.
