Marseille Suspends Rabiot, Rowe After Violent Altercation

Adrien Rabiot, the French international midfielder, has been suspended and placed on the transfer list by Olympique de Marseille following a heated altercation with teammate Jonathan Rowe after a Ligue 1 loss. Marseille president Pablo Longoria described the incident as involving 'extreme violence,' but Rabiot's mother and agent, Veronique Rabiot, disputes this characterization, calling the club's claims "completely false" and accusing Marseille of lying and double standards, especially in comparison to the treatment of Mason Greenwood. Rabiot's lawyer also criticized Marseille's decision, highlighting the player's commitment to the club and disputing claims of a recent change in behavior, while expressing surprise at the club's high €15 million valuation. Despite rumors linking Rabiot to a return to Juventus, Italian sources suggest this move is unlikely, though Veronique Rabiot mentioned he has multiple offers elsewhere. The situation has been described by Rabiot's mother as a betrayal by Marseille, warning that missing an entire season would be catastrophic for his career. Overall, the fallout has plunged Marseille into turmoil as they seek to offload both players involved in the incident.
