Marseille scored midfielder Adrien Rabiot and winger Jonathan Rowe on his list of transfers after only one season at the club.
Coach Roberto de Zerbi took ruthless measures following an altercation in the locker room between the two players after the club's 1-0 defeat against Rennes, reduced to ten, in the first Ligue 1 match this weekend.
Marseille is preparing to sell Rabiot and Rowe after a season.
Rabiot and Rowe did not attend Marseille training on Monday after being suspended by the club for disciplinary reasons. RMC Sport had previously reported that this suspension would be short -lived and that they could be asked to donate to the Marseille Foundation as a sanction.
However, the situation was overturned on Tuesday when RTL reported that Zerbi's coach wanted Rabiot's departure this summer, his commitment being questioned. Véronique, the mother and agent of Rabiot, was informed by OM of the suspension of the midfielder. His lawyer then learned that the French club sought to separate from him.
De Zerbi questions the engagement of French.
Later on Tuesday, the Ligue 1 club scored Rabiot and Rowe on the transfer list. An official club press release said: “Olympique de Marseille announces that Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe have been registered on the club list by the club. This decision was made following unacceptable behavior in the locker room after the match against Stade Rennais FC, in accordance with the technical staff and in accordance with the internal code of conduct of the club. The decision was communicated to the two players by the club on Monday. ”
Mason Greenwood and his teammates had a nightmarish start to the season, losing three important points against a team reduced to ten just after half an hour of play.
