There is new for Adrien Rabiot. A week after being officially put on the list of transfers by OM, four days after a fight of a “Unheard of violence” With Jonathan Rowe in the wake of the defeat of Phocaeans in Rennes (1-0), the 30-year-old midfielder remains away from the Roberto de Zerbi team. The Italian coach, however, put his management in great difficulty by explaining, before the press, that he was ready to reach out to the French international, despite the media scandal made by Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia.
That said, Rabiot remains on the start and Massimiliano Allegri, AC Milan coach, pushes to recruit his former Juventus player, as indicated by Italian journalist Nicolo Schira on Tuesday evening. While the Marseille club would claim 15 million euros, the Rossoneri, they want to include Ismaël Bennacer to reach a deal …
Pending the end of the transfer window next Monday, Adrien Rabiot should be called by Didier Deschamps for the first two games of the Blues in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, as RMC explains. Kylian Mbappé and his teammates face Ukraine on Friday September 5 in Wroclaw (Poland), before receiving Iceland, the following Tuesday at the Parc des Princes.
Rabiot present, Ekitike in surprise?
As RMC specifies, the middle of 30 years and its coach have probably exchanged in recent days. Rabiot continuing to train at the Robert Louis-Dreyfus center, “His presence in selection does not seem to be called into question”. In the midfield, “La Dèche” cannot count on Eduardo Camavonga, injured in an ankle for the start of the Liga with Real Madrid. Aurélien Tchouameni, Manu Koné, Mattéo Guendouzi as well as Warren Zaïre-Emery should be called, without surprise, alongside Rabiot.
It is in attack that the tricolor coach could welcome a new player since Randal Kolo Muani, still under transfer to PSG (despite an agreement found with Juventus), did not start his season. Hugo Ekitike, author of impressive beginnings in Liverpool, could well land in Clairefontaine.
