Experienced French midfielder Adrien Rabiot will continue his career at Olympique Marseille. The French club announced that it has reached an agreement with the player, who will officially become part of Roberto De Zerbi’s team if he successfully passes the medical examinations. No one doubts that this will indeed happen. Rabiot has been a free agent since early July when his contract with Juventus expired. The seasoned midfielder was reportedly a target for several Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, but in the end, Marseille proved to be the most determined and concrete in negotiations. What ultimately made the difference was his desire and the opportunity to join De Zerbi’s project at the Velodrome.Ronaldo is calling Rabiot, but Al-Nassr’s quota if filled alreadyRabiot is expected to sign a two-year contract after passing the medical examinations, becoming a key investment for the French club. During his time in Italy, Rabiot made 212 appearances, winning the Scudetto, two Italian Cups, and the Italian Super Cup. Rabiot became only the fifth French player in Juventus’ history to make at least 200 appearances for the club, known as the “Old Lady.” In the past, Rabiot was linked several times with Manchester United. The first instance was in 2019 when he signed for Juventus, and again in 2022, when he failed to agree on personal terms with the club from Old Trafford, so he remained in Turin. The two sides were also in contact last June, but the Frenchman signed a one-year contract with Juventus instead. His mother, who is also his agent said recently that coming back to Turin for the third time was never an option. Rabiot has 48 caps for the French national team, with which he reached the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar and the semifinals of the recent European Championship in Germany.##NAJAVA_MECA_8333873##
