A few years ago, the idea of seeing Adrien Rabiot becoming the darling of Marseille supporters would have seemed unlikely. However, in just a few months, the tricolor international midfielder succeeded in this feat. His boiling welcome in September 2024 during the surprise announcement of his signature to OM had already given a first signal, but since then, Rabiot has enjoyed a real love rating in the Marseille city, where his long passage to PSG now seems forgotten.
If in Paris, Rabiot and his mother are now considered enemies by the supporters, at the Vélodrome, the 30 -year -old was able to seduce those around him. “Adrien is a special person. I would say that he is the best man I had in a locker room throughout my career. This is an example of work, it is an example like no one ”entrusted Pablo Longoria in the series broadcast by OM on Youtube, stressing the admiration of the club for French.
This affection also translates to Marseille supporters, who now tear it into a jersey. According to The ParisianAdrien Rabiot is in the top 3 of the best sales of OM jerseys, in competition with Mason Greenwood and Leonardo Balerdi. On the Canebière, it is no longer rare to meet children and fans bearing the name of the ex-Parisian.
Rabiot, faithful to OM and ready to challenge PSG
The transformation of Rabiot into a local idol does not want his talent. His commitment to OM has strengthened his image.
