Officially, everything is for the best in the best of worlds in Marseille, where we savor the return of the club to the Champions League. Roberto de Zerbi seems to be gone to stay, visibly satisfied with the conclusions of his recent trip to the United States to take stock with Frank McCourt in the presence of Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia. And several summer recruits would already be approaching.
The hottest case concerns the English environment Angel Gomes, at the end of the contract in LOSC and manifestly ready to engage in favor of OM this summer. Other players such as Matthis Abine (Nantes), Facundo Medina (Lens) and Nayef Aguerd (West Ham) would also be seduced, even convinced by the Marseille project. It is still necessary to get along with their respective clubs.
Timing is perfect, but a crucial question remains unanswered despite everything: what about the future of Adrien Rabiot, the strong and unifying link in the workforce of the Olympians. In the speech, the tricolor international wants to be reassuring, ensuring that he wanted to discover the Champions League in Marseille next season. And yet doubt is allowed.
According to Provence, Adrien Rabiot has not yet confirmed to his management his desire to stay at OM to honor his two -year lease. Possible procrastination that can challenge while the transalpine press reports an urgent interest of Massimiliano Allegri, the new AC Milan coach, for his former protégé Bianconero. A priority target probably.
Longoria admits a departure clause for Rabiot
“” I often have it on the phone! Giovanni Rossi, the agent of Zerbi who also works with Allegri, launches me every time that he has it on the phone: “Come there that I pass you your dad!” It is true that with Allegri, I am talking about everything, not just football. She is a person that I really appreciate. If he calls me, I will always be ready to speak with him », Based these days Adrien Rabiot at the Gazzetta dello Sport, not denying his privileged relationship with the Toscan strategist.
If the Rossoneri, who will not play Europe next season, manage to seduce the former Parisian, they will have to pay a transfer compensation after all modest: around 10.5 million euros. This under a gentleman agrement concluded last year between Pablo Longoria and Adrien Rabiot. “” There is this type of agreement and a word, it is a wordadmits the president of OM. But I would not like to have to have this kind of conversation with Adrien. We want to continue with him. For us, he must be a very important player, a symbol, with others, of the transformation and stabilization of a club like OM. »»
