Adrien Rabiot arrived in the Phocaean city on Monday evening. The opportunity for the 29-year-old midfielder to
justify his signing with Olympique de MarseilleThis Tuesday morning, the French international successfully passed his medical examination.
In a few hours, the native of Saint-Maurice (Val-de-Marne) will officially become a Marseille player. Something that seemed inconceivable just a few days ago. Especially if we refer to an interview given by the player trained at
Paris Saint-Germain in 2016, before the French Cup final between the two rival clubs.
Rabiot, OM supporter since childhood
“Wearing this (OM) jersey one day? It’s not possible. Going to play in Marseille, it’s inconceivable,”
had confided Adrien Rabiot in the columns of Provence. Eight years later, Veronique’s son has changed his mind. Or had he lied at the time…
Indeed, according to several of his former teammates at Créteil, the club where he started playing football, Rabiot was a fervent supporter of OM during his childhood. “During the classics, he was clearly for OM”certified Abdelhak Benaniba in the columns of So Foot. “He was behind them all the way,” confirmed Jacky Locko, another player who played with him at the time.
