Adrien Rabiot has probably just signed one of the best exercises in his career for his first season in the colors of Olympique de Marseille. And to close in style this 2024-2025 season, the tricolor community offered a double against Stade Rennais (4-2), during the 34th day of Ligue 1.
Expected as one of the Pillars of the Marseille team next season, the former Bianconero, however, has been cautious when talking about his future. “The Champions League at the Vélodrome, it will be grand. Afterwards, personally, I don't want to go back on what will happen next season. »» However, he confirmed an interview to come with Pablo Longoria, the president of OM, and Mehdi Benatia, his director of football. “We will have a moment to land next week with the president, with Medhi, to discuss it all. Living these emotions in the largest of European competitions must be top level ”said the number 25 of the sky and white, this Sunday on Canal +.
“I have never worked with someone like Adrien”
And if we believe the latest statements by Marseille leaders, a departure from Rabiot does not seem to be relevant. Especially since the vice-world champion 2022 is unanimous internally. “I only want to say one thing, and I had already said it in December: I never worked with someone like Adrien in my entire career. At the human level, someone with Adrien's heart, I have never seen it in a football team. He arrives first, he leaves last. He's the player I want to put an example. An Adrien is an example. We want to continue with him, of course. For us, Adrien must be a very important player on the team. And I would like Adrien to be an example for the stabilization of OM at European level »said Longoria in front of the press this Monday.
At the microphone of beIN SPORTSBenatia had abounded in the same direction: “Before talking about recruits, one of my priorities is to keep Adrien Rabiot. Humanly, not only the player, I mainly speak of man, guy inside the locker room, it's extraordinary. Top player so we will do everything to try to keep it. We want to bring back players with personality, who can assume this stage and who enter the characteristics of the game requested by the coach. »»
