Marseille Shocker: Rabiot and Rowe Face Transfer Listing!
Olympique de Marseille has rocked the football world by placing star players Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe on the transfer list. The drastic decision follows an alleged dressing room altercation after their recent 1-0 defeat to Rennes.
Reports indicate that the French midfielder Rabiot and the English winger Rowe were involved in a heated exchange following the Ligue 1 match, where Marseille surprisingly lost despite Rennes playing with only 10 men for a significant portion of the game.
A statement released by Marseille cited "unacceptable behaviour in the dressing room" as the reason for the transfer listing. The club emphasized that the decision was made in consultation with the technical staff and adhered to the club's internal code of conduct. The players were reportedly informed of the decision on Monday.
Rowe, a former Norwich City player, joined Marseille in August 2024 for a reported £17 million and has made 31 appearances, scoring three goals. Rabiot, a seasoned veteran who previously played for Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, arrived at Marseille last September on a free transfer. He has scored 10 goals in 32 appearances for the club.
The unexpected fallout has sent shockwaves through the football community, leaving fans wondering about the future of these key players and the implications for Marseille's upcoming season. This incident raises questions about team dynamics and the pressures faced by players in high-stakes environments. The club will need to address the situation carefully to minimize any further disruption to their performance.
