Adrien Rabiot Joins Marseille: A Shocking Move From PSG Roots

After a long wait, Adrien Rabiot has finally found his new club, and it’s a significant one. On Sunday evening, Olympique de Marseille (OM) announced that they have reached a preliminary agreement with the French international. Rabiot is set to make his way to Marseille, where he will soon face his former club, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). This transfer has reignited discussions, particularly in light of a past remark from Hatem Ben Arfa.

From PSG to the Rival: Rabiot Joins OM

The news of Adrien Rabiot’s move to OM has taken many by surprise. The transfer is especially noteworthy due to Rabiot’s history with PSG and the intense rivalry between the two clubs. Having developed his skills at PSG, where he played 227 professional matches, Rabiot will have the chance to confront his former team at the end of October.

A Potential for Revenge

The reunion between PSG and Adrien Rabiot is bound to be charged with emotion, particularly when he returns to Parc des Princes in March 2025. The split between Rabiot and PSG was far from amicable, which raises the stakes for his comeback. There is speculation about Rabiot’s potential for retribution during this match. Notably, Hatem Ben Arfa had predicted this scenario back in 2019 when he himself took revenge on PSG after switching to Rennes, stating, “I think one day, Adrien Rabiot will come back with a team and will hurt them.” This statement now adds an intriguing layer to the upcoming encounters.
