Journalist
After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial team of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in Paris.
On the OM side, Adrien Rabiot will therefore have been the icing on the cake of this summer transfer window. The French international thus became the 12th Olympian recruit and certainly the best known. But now, on the Marseille side, Mehdi Benatia, sports advisor of the Marseille club, would have attempted an even bigger move than Rabiot.
Even without the European Cup,ABOUT showed how attractive it still is in the market. Largely thanks to the presence of Roberto De Zerbi notably, Mehdi Benatia has multiplied the big blows like Greenwood, Wahi, Hojbjerg and of course Rabiot. But now theABOUT had other great ambitions.
“A very high level player even better known than Rabiot”
It is Grégoire AkcelrodFIFA agent, who revealed this XXL stunt attempted by theABOUT in the transfer window. Asked by Thibaud Vézirianhe said: “ I took care of a very high level player who is even better known than Rabiot and Marseille were very interested in him. Marseille could only pay 3M net per year for a top player, top striker. My player would have been 3 times more star than Rabiot ».
Only €3M for Rabiot
Due to lack of money, theABOUT was therefore unable to afford this player in question, whose name was not revealed by Grégoire Akcelrod. It is also this situation which made the FIFA agent say that the Marseille club did not offer an annual salary of €6 million to Adrien Rabiot : « The Italian media are talking about 6M salary? It’s impossible. (…) Rabiot is between 2 and 3M net ».
