Thibault Morlain –
Journalist
After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial team of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in Paris.
Today, Adrien Rabiot is an OM player. A fact that would have been hard to believe just a few weeks ago. And for good reason… Free following his departure from Juventus, the Frenchman was courted by major European clubs including Atlético de Madrid and AC Milan. No agreement could ultimately be reached with these groups in question. The reason? A request for 10M€.
After 5 years on the side of JuventusAdrien Rabiot judged it was time for him to start a new chapter in his career. At 29, having reached the end of his contract with the Old Lady, the French international was therefore free to sign up with the club of his choice. This summer, Rabiot was therefore one of the good deals to be had on the market and he had big clubs at his feet. Indeed, many rumors animated the transfer window, but it would have been more concrete with theAtlético de Madridthe Milan AC as well as West Ham.

OM rather than Atlético de Madrid, AC Milan or West Ham
But how Adrien Rabiot did he come to sign at theABOUT rather thanAtlético de Madridthe Milan ACwith whom he could have played the Champions League, and West Ham ? Grégoire AkcelrodFIFA agent, has the answer. Indeed, for Thibaud Vézirianhe revealed: “ He finds himself in a club which finishes 8th in Ligue 1 and which does not play in the European Cup. It’s not because he takes 20M per year in Marseille. When we have, and this has been confirmed from reliable sources, Atlético de Madrid, AC Milan, who are playing in the Champions League, and West Ham, I wondered how this player who has 3 big clubs on him ends up with the 8th in Ligue 1 ».
Rabiot’s mother asked for a €10M signing bonus
« Everything is simple. The mother who is his agent, who is not an agent by the way, she does not have the right to be an agent, it is illegal, if she is reported to FIFA she would be fined, asked for €10 million signing bonus at Atlético, West Ham and Milan. Except that the 3 clubs refused to align because there is a small crisis in football. The player found himself without a club on September 1. We are talking about a player from the France team », Confided Grégoire Akcelrod.
