Team newspaper: Rabiot was sold by Marseille for conflict with his teammates, with a price of 15 million euros

August 20th, the team newspaper reported that Rabiot was included in the transfer list by Marseille due to a conflict with his teammates. The club asked for a price of 15 million euros. Some people believe that Marseille wants to take this opportunity to sell the players and cash out.

After Marseille lost 0-1 to Rennes in the first round of Ligue 1, Rabiot clashed with his teammate Jonathan Love and was suspended from training on Monday. The French international instantly became a abandoned man from Marseille. Due to the unacceptable behavior in the locker room recognized by the club, he completed the last match in the Marseille jersey without knowing it, and the management has included him in the transfer list.

Although a two-year contract was agreed upon when signing the contract (one-year fixed + one-year option), Rabiot could have left the team freely after the 2026 World Cup. When he signed the contract, he reached an agreement with senior management. If he was dissatisfied with the situation, he could transfer freely in June this year. But before that, he always expressed his satisfaction, not only chose to stay in the team, but also planned to renew his contract. After the storm, some public opinion speculated that Marseille tried to use this incident to sell the French player before the summer window was closed to recover costs. When talking about potential deals, Marseille emphasized: "The transfer must meet our conditions."

The Team News said that Marseille expects to obtain at least 15 million euros, but is obviously trapped in a negotiation disadvantage. Allegri, who has worked with Rabiot at Juventus, has shown interest, and Saudi clubs have also started contact.

On Tuesday evening, lawyer Rabiot spoke through RMC Radio: "Although the club expressed its desire to break up with the players, since they decided to abandon the players, they could not ask for an astonishing offer. 15 million euros is a sky-high price, so we will naturally carefully evaluate the situation. Clubs have contacted each other this summer, and the number of inquiries has increased recently, especially today, and proposals will be presented one after another."

On the other hand, Jonathan Love, who is highly valued in English football, may leave the team with 20 million euros. The England international, who moved from Norwich to Marseille last summer, had a transfer fee of €14.5 million.
