Ban of OM, like a Jonathan Rowe who has already rallied Bologna to sign a new lease against a check around 20 million euros – Bonus included – Adrien Rabiot must leave Marseille by the end of the transfer window.

Since the start of the week, Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia, the president and sports director of the Olympians, have acted a so -called collective decision, officially placing the tricolor international on the transfers list. This did not fail to trigger the mother's ire and advisor to the principal interested.

However, this Saturday at the end of OM victory over Paris FC at the Vélodrome, as part of the 2e L1 day (5-2), Roberto de Zerbi tried to play the appeasement card against the press. To everyone's surprise. “” Regarding Rabiot, I have not yet spoken to Pablo and Medhi but the hope that I have is that there is the possibility of recomposing things, that it is recovering in the right direction “, Dixit the Italian strategist.

“I'm ready for anything,” said Zerbi

“” Even if he made a mistake, I am in this hopehammers the former coach of Brighton. I am not someone slamming the doors to the nose. I am not the only person to decide, the club comes before the coach. But Adrien is a good person. I gave him advice, I hope he will follow him and that he will follow me. (…) I never put a cross on people. If I can help solve this problem, I'm ready for anything. Not for the player but for the person he is. I think it is important, for everyone's good, not just football but also human. »»

Between the lines, Roberto de Zerbi therefore proposes to his management to reintegrate Adrien Rabiot into the Marseille collective. Under the guise of apologies possibly the player with the locker room. In view of the strong words employed in recent days by the two parties concerned, gluing the pieces, however, promises to be delicate. But this OM is not a close twist.
