Overview

• Olympique de Marseille announced Tuesday that Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe have been placed on the transfer list for what the club called inadmissible post-match behavior at Rennes under its internal code of conduct.
• The club said the decision was communicated to both players on Monday, and neither trained with the first team on Monday or Tuesday.
• Following initial denials, multiple reports, including AFP citing L'Équipe and a source close to the club, described exchanges of blows between Rabiot and Rowe after the 1-0 defeat.
• Rabiot’s lawyer said the player was not told he had to leave during a Monday meeting, called the move extremely surprising, and disputed any claim of reduced commitment, suggesting the episode is being used to force an exit.
• Rowe was already viewed as likely to depart, while the club emphasized that no individual, including star players, stands above the OM institution.
