Overview

  • Marseille announced that Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe have been exiled from first-team activities and put up for sale for unacceptable behavior after the loss at Rennes.
  • French and international outlets reported that blows were exchanged in the dressing room, a characterization Longoria reinforced by describing the incident as extremely serious and beyond limits.
  • The club said the decision, made with the technical staff and under the internal code of conduct, was communicated to both players on Monday.
  • Reports indicate the pair have until Sept. 1 to secure moves, with interest linked to Serie A and England, including Juventus and Inter for Rabiot and Roma, Bologna, Sunderland and Leeds for Rowe.
  • Coach Roberto De Zerbi publicly condemned the in-fighting after the defeat, as Marseille prepares for Champions League commitments following last season’s second-place finish.
