Adrien Rabiot soon to be rewarded by Didier Deschamps?

Free from any contract after his departure from Juventus Turin, Adrien Rabiot was promised to the biggest European names. Only after a full summer without having found the right match for him, the French midfielder finally took charge of Olympique de Marseille, which concluded its incredible transfer window on a very good note.

However, if the deal may seem exceptional for OM, it is less so for Rabiot who was courted by many big clubs such as AC Milan during the summer.

In the absence of a salary agreement, the player who asked for almost 7 million euros per year finally declined the offers one by one to return to France with emoluments barely exceeding 3 million euros per season.

A choice which particularly surprised Mattéo Guendouzi. Adrien Rabiot motivated his choice to join OM by explaining that he had won over by the project presented by Medhi Benatia and Roberto De Zerbi.

Adrien Rabiot starting this weekend?

Whatever the case, Adrien Rabiot is today delighting Marseille supporters who can count on a world-class midfielder to secure European places in Ligue 1.

If he was not a starter since his arrival with only 53 minutes of play, the international break allowed him to perfect his physical condition and should start with OM against Montpellier this Sunday.

A first start which should not be the best news of the weekend for him. At least this is what La Provence reveals by affirming that Didier Deschamps would consider giving the captain’s armband of the France team to Adrien Rabiot.

Adrien Rabiot new captain of the Blues?

If DD does not think about removing the armband from Kylian Mbappé, he would be the second captain and would take the armband in the event of the Real Madrid player’s absence. And absences are to be expected.

Indeed, while many controversies surround Mbappé, one of them concerns his selections for the French team which could become rarer in the months to come according to Foot Mercato.

The striker would like to save himself for the matches he considers more important and could therefore skip several rallies. A situation which could therefore suit Adrien Rabiot if the armband returned to him, while Aurélien Tchouaméni had been chosen during the last meeting as substitute captain.
