As expected, the former Parisian, free since his departure from Juve this summer, signed with Olympique de Marseille on Tuesday, September 17 for one of the big deals on the transfer market.

Olympique de Marseille made official on Tuesday the signing of French international midfielder Adrien Rabiot, with whom it had announced on Sunday that it had an “agreement in principle”. “Olympique de Marseille is pleased to announce the signing of Adrien Rabiot. The 29-year-old midfielder has signed with the Olympique club after successfully passing his medical examination, the Marseille club announced in a press release.

Rabiot, who left Juventus Turin for free this summer, will wear the number 25 at Marseille. The length of the former Paris SG player's contract has not been specified, but a source with knowledge of the matter explained to AFP on Sunday that he was to sign for two years.

With Rabiot, OM welcomes a very high-level midfielder, a regular in the French team during the last Euro as he was at Juventus, where he played for five years. He played 48 matches with the Blues, with whom he was vice-world champion in 2022. Incidentally, Marseille is thumbing its nose at its old rival, Paris SG, where "Le Duc" was formed and where he won six French championship titles before a bitter end to his adventure, concluded by six months of being sidelined.

Welcomed to Marignane by hundreds of supporters

On Monday evening, Rabiot was welcomed at Marignane airport by several hundred Marseille supporters who sang his name and lit a few smoke bombs. “I didn't expect that. Seeing all these people there warms my heart. I know my family is happy too. “It makes you want to play and win,” he told the cameras. “It's really incredible. I didn't expect so much good humor, so much warmth,” he added.

The player also explained that he was won over by the project presented by Marseille president Pablo Longoria and his advisor Mehdi Benatia, as well as by his discussions with coach Roberto De Zerbi. The new Marseille midfielder will be presented to the press this Wednesday at 3 p.m. He should be able to be included in the group that will face Lyon on Sunday, even though he has not played since the Euro.
