Véronique Rabiot reveals the truths about Adrien's transfer to OM

Who hasn't already formed an opinion about Véronique Rabiot? Since Adrien joined us at OM, his mother - and agent - has been making as much noise as an Obraniak shot straight into the top corner. With criticisms about her character and doubts about her intentions, it's hard to remain indifferent. But this week, she finally spoke to L’Equipe to set the record straight. So, true passion or simple calculation? Let's take a look together.

The OM choice: a passion or career choice?

Let's be honest, Adrien Rabiot's transfer to OM, no one really saw it coming. Not even his mother, to say the least! Véronique admits it herself: "I just want him to go where he truly wants to." Adrien had other offers, some even said he "should have gone to a big club." But he chose Marseille. Why? The project appealed to him, and that makes us happy, right? But do we see it as a real commitment to our colors or just a stopover in his career? Let us know in the comments, friends!

Relentless agent or just protective?

We've heard everything about Véronique Rabiot. Too tough in negotiations, too calculating, even a "toxic agent" according to some media. But, listening to her, everything has always been done for Adrien's good. No conspiracy about the end at PSG, no scheming to leave Juve for free. She even denounces the methods of some clubs that force extensions through blackmail. What do you think? Does the family protect, or does it sometimes hinder the player's ambitions?

Finances: myth or reality?

Too often, the Rabiot clan is accused of being motivated by money. But once again, Véronique puts her foot down: "If we wanted a lot of money, we would have stayed at PSG." She even claims not to take commissions, which, without evidence to the contrary, leaves us speechless. Well, we all know that football is a business, but isn't that label a bit too easy? Isn't money always somewhat in the background in our football? Feel free to give your opinion, let's debate it!

The Manchester United episode: a question of principle or money?

Do you remember the Man United saga in 2022? We all heard that it was Véronique who ruined the deal due to excessive salary demands. However, she explains that it's a matter of respect: a club that lowers the salary in case of not qualifying for the Champions League? For her, it was non-negotiable. So, was it a misunderstood strategy or true defense of Adrien's interests? Tell us, what would you have done in their place?

And now, what's next at OM?

What reassures us is the good relationship displayed with Longoria and Benatia (a former teammate of Adrien at Juve, let's not forget). Enough to give hope to the entire Vélodrome for a 2025 season full of enthusiasm. But the real question is what's next: Adrien is only under contract until next June. Should we extend, sell, or risk seeing him leave on a free transfer? Sportingly and financially, it's the kind of dilemma we love to discuss at the refreshment stand...

So friends, we want to know: how do you judge Véronique Rabiot's role in all of this? Can Adrien commit to us for the long term? Share your thoughts in the comments, and go OM!
