Free from any contract since the end of his adventure at Juventus Turin, Adrien Rabiot has undoubtedly been one of the most coveted players on the market this summer. Many European big names have indeed shown interest in the French midfielder. Arsenal, AC Milan, FC Barcelona, Manchester United and Atletico Madrid have at one time considered attracting him.
The weeks have passed and it is finally at Olympique de Marseille that the former Parisian will sign. The former Parisian explained at the beginning of the summer that he wanted to play in a club that plays for titles and competes in the Champions League. OM, which has not won a single trophy since 2011 and did not manage to qualify for a single European Cup last season, is therefore far from it.
“It’s unbearable”
And according to agent Bruno Satin, if Adrien Rabiot, who will also have to make do with an annual salary estimated at 3.5 million euros, has had to revise his expectations downwards, it is because of his mother and agent. “It’s also the result of the people who accompany him. Is it normal that Adrien Rabiot, a regular in the French team, goes to Marseille? He is advised by his mother and in this case, it shows that it’s better to be accompanied by professionals because if he had been accompanied by a pro, he would be in a European Top 10.”he said to RMC.
And the former agent of Paul Pogba or Olivier Dacourt continues by providing a striking example. “I saw the sporting director of Atletico Madrid at the end of July. He told me ‘I had two conversations with the mother, I stopped immediately because she explained to me where her son should play.’ It quickly tires all the professionals, it’s unbearable,” he thus revealed.
