Mansion Sports – Adrien Rabiot has closed his controversial chapter at Marseille by sending a heartfelt farewell message to the club’s supporters following his summer departure, which came after a dressing-room dispute that shocked the public.

Farewell Note and Appreciation for the Fans

The French midfielder expressed his gratitude for the warm welcome he received from Olympique Marseille supporters from the moment he joined the club. In a message posted on his Instagram account, Rabiot wrote:

“Dear Marseille supporters, before I begin my new adventure in Milan, I want to share this message. From the very first day I arrived in Marignane, you did not judge my past in Paris but immediately embraced me as one of your own. Throughout the season, you encouraged, supported, and applauded me. I felt the passion, energy, and love for football that make Marseille a unique city and club in France. I will never forget the atmosphere at the Vélodrome—the chants, the cheers, and the club’s crest. The joy of celebration, especially the indescribable feeling of scoring in this stadium, will stay with me forever. It was a great honor to defend your colors, the colors of Olympique Marseille.”

Career Journey and Controversy

Rabiot’s time at Marseille came after a return to France following five seasons with Juventus. His spell at the club ended amid controversy when he and teammate Jonathan Rowe were placed on the transfer list following a post-match incident against Rennes in August.

A New Chapter at AC Milan

The midfielder has now signed a three-year contract with AC Milan. Beyond adapting to his new club, Rabiot will also aim to secure his place in Didier Deschamps’ France squad ahead of the upcoming World Cup.

His farewell message reflects a deep appreciation for Marseille and its supporters, underlining that despite a turbulent departure, he carries warm memories of his time with the Ligue 1 side.
