Adrien Rabiot has clearly not digested the circumstances of his departure from OM. Pushed out after his fight in the Roazhon Park locker room with Jonathan Rowe, the 30-year-old French international was forced to find a new club in the final days of the summer transfer window. And it was at AC Milan that he decided to continue his career.

If he believes he made the right choice by joining the Rossoneri, the “Duke” regrets the end of the story “ bitter » with Olympique de Marseille. During an interview with RTL, the former Parisian expressed his “ incomprehension » and said he was the victim of “ a form of betrayal » from Marseille decision-makers.

By not having understood, I cannot explain anything. In any case, what's done is done. What is important is that my teammates know what happened, that they know the truth, and that the fans have always been behind me, have continued and continue to support me and even follow me. I receive a lot of messages from OM supporters, who continue to write to me through the networks. That's why I also made this message on my networks. It came from the heart. It was important to me to send this message to the supporters. For the rest, what's done is done. I am a positive person. I'm moving forward “, he said.

Rabiot: “I have never been someone ultra violent”

Before adding: “ What matters to me is that people don't lie about me, that people don't say I'm someone I'm not. I have always been invested, and everywhere I have gone, I have shown it. I have always been very, very respectful. I don't want anyone to lie about that. (…) For the rest, I have never been someone ultra violent, we also know that. So, I just don't want people to use the wrong words about me and make me look bad. What's done is done: it's over like that… It's football, it's life. We have to move forward and that’s what I did very well. »

Currently with the France team, Adrien Rabiot is ready to play the two qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup against Azerbaijan (October 10) and Iceland (October 13).
