Marseille’s purchase of the midfielder Adrien Rabiotwho was released from Juventus in the summer, took by surprise not only many insiders, but also several players who play for other Ligue 1 teams such as for example Adrien Thomasson of Lens who interviewed on RMC he explained that he never imagined seeing him return to play in France.
“I honestly had a hard time believing it when I read it, especially given his past at PSG and the level he has reached. I was very surprised even though nothing should surprise in today’s football anymore, but I have always liked players who respected the teams they had played for by not signing for rival clubs,” Thomasson continued. “Of course there have been exceptions in the past, but now you have to be careful when, especially young players, say they will never play for a certain club. It’s better to be measured in certain comments.”
Thomasson then explains how the arrival of a player like Rabiot is helpful to the entire championship: “I’m waiting to see what his debut will be like, there’s really a lot of anticipation and I hope people won’t be disappointed. This news has shaken the dressing room a bit for a few days, but it’s fantastic that he’s decided to come back.”
