Overview

• Speaking to Le Figaro and RTL on October 7, Adrien Rabiot said he “didn’t understand” Marseille’s decision and called the ending “a form of betrayal.”
• OM had cited repeated internal code-of-conduct violations and concerns over his investment; Rabiot insisted he remained committed and “not an ultra-violent person.”
• He left after an August locker-room fight with Jonathan Rowe, with both players subsequently moving to Serie A—Rabiot to AC Milan and Rowe to Bologna.
• Rabiot said his teammates “know the truth” and highlighted continued backing from OM supporters, which he addressed in a social media message.
• Now 30, he has been recalled by France for World Cup qualifiers against Azerbaijan on October 10 and Iceland on October 13, and he expressed satisfaction with his Milan move under Massimiliano Allegri.
