Marseille Places Rabiot, Rowe on Transfer List After Dressing Room Fight

Olympique de Marseille has decided to part ways with French midfielder Adrien Rabiot and English winger Jonathan Rowe following a physical altercation and verbal insults between the two players in the dressing room after a 1-0 Ligue 1 loss to Rennes. Manager Roberto De Zerbi expressed frustration with Rabiot's commitment, stating he no longer intends to work with him, effectively ending their association with the club. Both players have been placed on the transfer list and given until the September 1 transfer deadline to find new clubs, with interest reported from Juventus, Inter Milan, Sunderland, Leeds United, and other teams. The club's decision was made in agreement with the technical staff and in accordance with internal codes of conduct. This disciplinary action reflects ongoing concerns about team dynamics and player behavior following the incident. The situation is a significant shake-up for Marseille, who finished second in Ligue 1 last season.
