Olympique de Marseille (OM) has placed midfielders Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe on the transfer list following a violent altercation between the two players in the locker room after their Ligue 1 match against Rennes. The incident, described by OM president Pablo Longoria as "an event of extreme gravity and violence," involved a physical fight including a punch to the mouth and left one player on the ground. The club cited unacceptable behavior as the reason for their decision to separate from both players, who have been temporarily removed from the first team and have not returned to training. Rabiot, 30, and Rowe, 22, both retain market value, with OM reportedly asking around €15 million for Rabiot and approximately €20 million for Rowe. Talks with Bologna for Rowe are ongoing, with a deal reportedly agreed at €19 million plus a 10% sell-on clause. The altercation has shocked the club and its supporters, with OM's football director Medhi Benatia describing the incident as unprecedented. Meanwhile, Rabiot's mother and agent, Véronique Rabiot, has publicly disputed the club's characterization of the event, denying the violence was as severe as claimed and accusing OM's management, including Longoria and Benatia, of acting out of pride and financial motives. She emphasized that no one was injured and expressed disappointment over her son's treatment and exclusion from the team. The dispute has escalated tensions between Rabiot and the club's leadership, with ongoing public statements and media coverage. This development comes shortly after the start of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season, marking a turbulent period for Marseille.
