During his second spell on the Real Madrid bench, Zinedine Zidane refused to recruit Adrien Rabiot, who was then at the end of his contract with PSG.

This is quite a coup by Pablo Longoria and his teams. Without a club since he left Juventus Turin free of any contract on 1er Last July, Adrien Rabiot did not find the right shoe for him during the summer transfer window, even though he was announced on the tablets of Atlético Madrid, FC Barcelona or Manchester United. Enough to give ideas to the OM leaders, who tried their luck, and succeeded!

Indeed, according to several sources, Adrien Rabiot, convinced by the Marseille project, will commit for the next two seasons with the residents of the Vélodrome stadium, subject to the medical examination. The former Parisian is expected in the Phocaean city this Monday evening and his arrival should be made official on Tuesday.

Zidane was put off by Rabiot’s demands

A few years ago, Adrien Rabiot found himself in a similar situation. After refusing to extend his lease at PSG in 2019, the “Duke” was announced in the biggest European teams, including Real Madrid. According to information disclosed at the time by Paris United, the player’s clan had offered his services to the White House at the time of Zinedine Zidane’s appointment, in early March 2019.

Unfortunately for Rabiot, “Zizou” had not wanted to recruit him, he who was hoping for the arrival of Paul Pogba. Above all, the high salary demands made by Véronique Rabiot, mother and advisor of the player, a signing bonus of 15 million euros and a salary of 10 million euros per year, had cooled the former number 10 of the Blues. The native of Saint-Maurice (Val-de-Marne) had then chosen to join Juventus Turin.
