After a defeated conflict, Marseille put Rabiot on the departure list, and French media "February" published an article talking about the inside story of this decision.
In the first round of the new season of Ligue 1, Marseille was defeated by ten players Rennes in stoppage time 0-1 away. After the game, Marseille goalkeeper Ruley was very dissatisfied with the performance of the team winger Jonathan Love. The two had a fierce quarrel, and the atmosphere in the locker room became extremely tense. Rabiot tried to stop them from taking action, and eventually got himself involved, and there was a physical conflict, which was not completely calmed down until the security personnel appeared.
After the weekend's break, Marseille punished the two players this Monday. For Lowe, he had been identified as the target for sale before, so the penalty did not change much for him. But for Rabiot, the team's reaction was relatively easy. The players only had to pay a fine and could return to the team soon, because his relationship with Marseille senior executives and Dezelby's evaluation of him were obvious to all.
Rabiot, like Lovi, was still absent from training on Tuesday morning. In the afternoon, Rabiot's mother Veronica appeared and intervened. She contacted the media RTL and The Team said that Dezelby was unwilling to work with Rabiot again on the grounds of lack of investment. The news shocked many people because the reasons mentioned were puzzling. Rabiot has always been regarded as a role model for his professional attitude, but the facts are right in front of him, and Marseille later confirmed in a statement that both the player and Love were on the sale list.
Other teammates of Marseille were also shocked by Rabiot's situation, and the players and those around him were incredible by Marseille's harsh decision. But it is understood that this decision has been unanimously supported by Marseille senior management and technical team. Especially Dezelby, who witnessed Rabiot and Love's conflict in the locker room, was shocked by this and said privately that he felt betrayed by Rabiot and considered letting Rabiot leave. The club's senior management also believed that this was almost an inevitable choice.
Now, the two sides no longer talk about respect, gentleman agreement and unconditional trust, but rather discuss that since the start of pre-season preparations in July, Rabiot's behavior has suddenly become less like a model because of the unsuccessful progress of contract negotiations. Marseille management once again stressed their firm position, and proved no matter what: no player can top others.
