Overview
- Adrien Rabiot, now at AC Milan, said he did not understand being pushed out by Marseille, denied being violent, and described the end of his OM spell as incomprehension and a form of betrayal.
- Marseille had cited multiple breaches of its internal code and questioned his investment before suspending and transfer‑listing both Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe, who were then sold to Milan and Bologna respectively.
- In interviews, Rabiot said he wanted teammates and supporters to know the truth about the dressing‑room altercation and added that he valued his season at OM despite the bitter finale.
- Rabiot criticized the decision to stage Milan–Como in Perth as “totally crazy,” prompting Serie A CEO Luigi De Siervo to rebuke him publicly and defend the exceptional, UEFA‑approved relocation.
- OM coach Roberto De Zerbi said this week that Rabiot’s departure ultimately benefited the team, calling the fight unlike anything he had seen in a dressing room.
