Rabiot, behind the scenes on the breakup: "Unbearable mother, she wanted to decide..."

Agent Bruno Satin revealed the conversation he had with the Atletico Madrid sporting director: “He told me that he tires everyone out quickly”

After leaving Juventus and a whole summer without a contract, Adrien Rabiot has finally found a new team: Marseille. A signing that has not gone unnoticed, both for the rivalry between OM and PSG (Rabiot's former team), and for the agreement reached by the French midfielder with a club that will not play in the Champions League. It is precisely on this last point that the role of Veronique Rabiot, mother and agent of the midfielder, is at the center of the debate. A categorical no to Juve for the offer received with the hope of landing in the Premier League and in the end, with the market closed, the decision to embrace De Zerbi's project . The French agent Bruno Satin intervened on the situation and did not spare mother Veronique at all.

Criticism of Mother Veronique

“What happened to Rabiot is the result of the incompetence of the people who accompanied him,” explains Satin. “He was advised by his mother and this shows how important it is to be assisted by professionals because if he had been assisted by a professional he would be in the top 10 in Europe.” There is also room for a background on the negotiations with Atlético Madrid and the reason for the breakdown between the parties: “I spoke to the sporting director of Atlético  Madrid at the end of July and he told me 'I had two conversations with the mother and I immediately interrupted them because she was explaining to me where her son would play'. It quickly tires out all the professionals, it's unbearable,” said Satin.

Farewell to Juve and a summer as a free agent

A Rabiot who after a troubled summer is looking for redemption. At the end of June the expiration of his contract with Juventus opened up various scenarios. The surprising decision was his desire to leave Turin. The arrival of his former teammate Thiago Motta on the bench had led to the prediction of a possible rapprochement between the parties. The offer of 7 million per season did not satisfy Adrien who according to rumors would have wanted at least 10. Interests from Manchester United, Real Madrid and Milan were tempting , but between rumors or real interests in the end everything ended with nothing and Rabiot remained unattached until the market closed. Rabiot was saved from embarrassment (as said by France coach Deschamps) by the offer from Marseille, accepted for less money and without a Champions League to play.

Rabiot's first words

"At first it seemed unlikely and in the end, after talking a lot with Medhi, he presented the project to me, I accepted. I also spoke with the coach, that made me happy." Rabiot said that Benatia and De Zerbi were the key men for the landing in Marseille in front of a delirious crowd of OM fans. To the journalists present, the French midfielder revealed: "It's incredible. I didn't expect it, seeing all the people here, it warms my heart. I know that my family is happy too, it already makes me want to play and win. They told me that 500 people came, I didn't expect so much warmth. Then there's the atmosphere, the fervor, the stadium, the public who live football... The objective is necessarily to win and return to the Champions League. I don't know if I'll be able to play straight away, I'm in good condition, but I'll see with the group anyway. I can't wait to train and return to the Vélodrome."
