Marseille has reached an agreement in principle with French midfielder Adrien Rabiot, paving the way for him to join the club.

 

The nine-time French champions confirmed, “The player will join OM pending the results of a medical,” on Sunday.

 

Rabiot, 29, became a free agent after opting not to renew his contract with Juventus, where he spent five seasons.

 

Previously, Rabiot played for Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille’s fierce rival. Born in the Val-de-Marne region of Paris, he joined PSG’s academy at 15.

 

With 48 caps for France, Rabiot also featured in Euro 2024, where France was eliminated by Spain in the semifinals.

 

While specific contract details were not disclosed, reports suggest Rabiot is expected to sign a two-year deal with Marseille.
