He actually received very good offers but the teams did not accept them because his expectations were very high. For example, he received very attractive offers from Turkey and Saudi Arabia but he said he did not want to continue his career there. At this point, he had the chance to go to the team he wanted since he was a free agent and I think he did the smart thing by returning to France. Now his chance for the French national team continues. I wish him a successful career

Previously there were some rumors stating that there were two English team that were interested in Rabiot, but all of that was just rumor that could not really come true because now it has been confirmed that Rabiot has an agreement with Marseille.
And you are right that this transfer will be good project for Marseille and De Zerbi in developing for Ligue 1 and they can compete for place to be able to participate in one of the European competitions next season because last season they did not get single place in one of the European competitions.
It just that this is short-term contract that maybe if there is another team that wants Rabiot and it is big team that is able to give him what he wants, possible that Rabiot could leave Marseille before his contract expires or there will be no other agreement regarding staying longer and making contract extension.

After being unemployed for around 2.5 months, now Adrien Rabiot is close to having a new club to continue his career. Rabiot has been a free agent since his contract with Juventus ended on June 30. Juventus actually did not want to lose the French midfielder by offering him a new contract, but due to the player asking for a significant salary increase, the two had to part ways sooner than expected.

A number of clubs have tried to approach him such as Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester United and other top clubs including clubs from Saudi Arabia, but none of these clubs have succeeded in getting his signature. Negotiations are reportedly underway with Marseille over contract terms and the transfer will be made official once Robiot has undergone a medical.

If this transfer is made official, it means that Rabiot will be a "traitor" to PSG, because he was a member of the club from 2012-2019. He will be a player of PSG arch-rival club because the match between PSG and Marseille is known as Le Classique or El Clasico in Ligue 1. Who knows what was going through Rabiot head regarding his decision to join Marseille even though elite clubs in other top leagues were very interested in recruiting him. I think he has thrown away the opportunity to win trophies and play in the highest level league.

This is just the golden moment taken by the former striker  was excluded from Napoli first team. Napoli discharged their main player because they've collided towards making improvements for the attacking forces in the team. It was deemed unfair treatment given to Osimhen who was once consider an important player for the club. Seeing Romelu Lukaku fitting in so well with regards to the formation style of the manager. Bringing Romelu Lukaku to replace Victor Osimhen was brilliant choice but the player ought to train more and become 10x in matches. Victor Osimhen is very agile player, he's always available to comprehend his attacking position. Victor Osimhen on a one year loan move to Galatasaray, we hope he explored more from this opportunity.

That was quick. Lol. But, I think this is a good signing. Their project is promising. With Rabiot's arrival at Marseille, it will help De Zerbi to cook. Rabiot is a legit change to the Marseille's midfielder. But, I want to see the details of his transfer. Especially, I want to know his wages from Marseille.

Buying Rabiot could help Marseille challenge Europe next season. Good transfer.

I have no idea how much Bayern Munich would be asking for Jamal Musiala, but one thing is for sure, if he wants to leave the club then Bayern Munich is going to make it an expensive decision for him. I expected that Bayern Munich is willing to pay an irresistable salary for him and of course require a huge amount of money for a transfer. Only Manchester City and Real Madrid would be able to pay that amount of money.

It has been decided now that Rabiot will be at Marseille for the next few seasons and this seems to be the best decision for Rabiot although I think he can still be at some other big clubs because if we see apart from Marseille which is now the choice of Rabiot, previously there were Manchester United and even PSG who tried to sign this player.

But indeed in this case I think it is not without reason that he is in Marseille because apart from this is his birth country, being in Marseille is also profitable for his position in the line up in contrast to bigger clubs because it will definitely be very difficult to compete so at least there is a guarantee when Rabiot is in Marseille later.
Now the medical test has been successful, just waiting for the official introduction from Marseille for now.

Signing of Adrien Rabiot by Olympic Marseille would make
or  enable the club to be more formidable being an experience player recall Greenwood the former Man Utd player had been in a terrific form this season for club having scored many goals with the inclusion of experience Adrien Rabiot into the squad definitely the team would challenge PSG for lique1 trophy this season and I believe Roberto De Zerbi club manager would definitely build a very strong squad by capitalizing on the wealth of experience Adrien Rabiot which would help the team Young players to build on thus up their performances for the club.

I guess it’s because a lot of football fans are still shocked to see Victor Osimhen agree to a move to Galatasaray after being linked to PSG, Arsenal and Chelsea. Galatasaray was not one of the best choices predicted for him in the summer. Many had anticipated a proposed move to the English Premier League, the Ligue 1 or Saudi. There is still a chance that he can complete a move to any if this leagues at the end of his loan with Galatasaray. Let’s hope he stays injury free and fit.

Finally the saga will be put to rest, the player has been wandering around since he left Juventus because of two things which is

1 is relationship with former clubs ; Rabiot to me seems to have one of the worst agent in world football who unfortunately happens to be his mother, the player has always been a person in the spot light when ever it has to do with his wages, he had a rift with his boyhood club PSG and also repeated same with juventus until they had to let him leave. If I could remember it was this same agent that got the players move to Manchester United two seasons ago collapsed

2 Wages; his wages at juventus is also a huge amount with the fee around 8 million pounds and many clubs wouldn’t be able to afford those wages, the player and the agent thought that they could get a better team with same or higher wage and it wasn’t coming, good he agreed less fee for Marseille, a year without football will have hamper his career

This should obviously be put to good use by Galatasaray because despite Osimhen's temper and his problems with his former club, Osimhen is still one of the better strikers with excellent durability and finishing.
Although in his debut he did not manage to score but 1 assist for the massacre at RAMS Park is very good for Osimhen's initial performance in Turkey and I think this is a very good thing that Osimhen showed.

He must maintain this condition because after all, Osimhen's hype in the middle of the season or next season will still continue to occur especially there must be a reduction in the release clause later because it is certain that Napoli will also not be able to maintain the same value later.

I was surprised to learn that Adrien Rabiot didn't get a good offer during the summer transfer window and had to remain without a club till now because the France international is one player that's got so much quality and should be playing for top European club if you ask me. I'm happy he's finally gotten a club now and I believe he'll be a great addition to the Olympic Marseille team.

Well it has been confirmed even by Marseille themselves where they said they had agreed to Rabiot and had finished carrying out medical tests for this player.
Rabiot's drama ended where not a few big clubs were expecting him including Manchester United but in the end he returned to his home country where Marseille managed to bring this player's signature for a contract that could actually be said to be short-term.

Of course with this condition I think it is a very good thing for Marseille so that they will trouble PSG in the competition for trophies this season especially since the attack line with Greenwood has shown positive signs to date with the presence of Rabiot in their midfield this will clearly provide a very positive thing for Marseille.

Looks like Rabiot finally have a team.
According to Fabrizio romano, Olympique Marseille have reached an agreement with the player.

The deal will be for 2 years, till 2026.

Otherwise according to rumors the salary will be lower then the 10mil per year wanter, halved.

Exactly I was also thinking that Jamal Musiala wouldn't have to go to Barcelona. Apparently Barcelona administration has already finished with finical criticism while Jamal Musiala is $110 million+ in value which is too big for Barcelona to pay for him. Barcelona have extreme finical criticism they don't have much more money for such kinds of players. There is no doubt that Jamal Musiala will stay at Bayern Munich because Bayern Munich already considered him a key player and fans loved him so much. They will not let him leave the club. 
 
For me this rumor is just fake news. Barcelona didn't have any chance to sign him. Firstly they didn't have any place for Jamal Musiala to play him on the starting sheet because they have a lot of players in a squad. So therefore it will be too hard for Jamal Musiala to take a place in the starting lineup. So be honest it is just fake news.

Adrien Rabiot who leave Juventus as free agent status previously was linked to the several clubs and the latest is he was rumoured to Turkish club Galatasaray but apparently this is not happened because whether it Galatasaray and Adrien Rabiot didn't reach an agreement and today there was interesting news about him because Adrien Rabiot thinking possibility to return to France and it says currently he and Ligue 1 club Marseille is under negotiation and the progress also looks good because seems Adrien Rabiot has been thinking serious the offers from Marseille and for Marseille they are very confident in the next 48 hours Adrien Rabiot will accept their offers

Both players have been linked even before the Euro Championship and Copa America kicked off. Real Madrid scouts according to reports visited the game played today between these sides.
Both defenders helped and contributed to their respective today but Arsenal got to take all three points finally. I believe Saliba is that defender responsible for organizing the defense of Arsenal, take him out and they'll be in shambles. I don't see them selling him in between. Romeo is close to joining Real Madrid more than Saliba. South Americans are quick to take such opportunities that come their way. Come next season, I'm certain he'll be the new Real Madrid replacement for Nacho Fernandez.

In addition, Barcelona actually has several players in the same position as Jamal Musiala. So, I'm not sure about the truth of the rumor. Unless, Laporta plans to renew his players and release some old players. It's just that as you explained in this post, it's no secret that Barcelona is still constrained by the financial problems they are experiencing. Even if Barca plans to bring in a newcomer later, I'm sure they will target a player with center forward status as a replacement for Lewandowski later. Plus, Musiala's transfer price is not cheap and it is certain that Barcelona will have difficulty if they really want to bring him in later. As for the latest news, Bayern Munich is currently working on a new contract for Musiala. Although the report says it is difficult, it is not impossible. I am quite sure, it is very likely that Musiala will extend his new contract with Bayern Munich.

I've heard several reports about Victor Osimhen's failed transfer to Chelsea during the summer transfer window and the reasons why the deal didn't go through and going by these reports, I think it'll be very difficult for both parties to come to terms in the nearest future. I know Chelsea's current first choice striker Nicholas Jackson isn't performing well which have increased the club's desire to get a better replacement in the nearest future but I doubt if they'll want to return to Victor Osimhen again regardless of how he performs at Galatasaray in the first half of the season.

Jamal Musiala is undoubtedly one of the best young players in the world at the moment. When it comes to young players that posseses the potentials of becoming football greats in the nearest future, Musiala will definitely rank among the top 10 but I don't think Barcelona have all it takes to land the Germany international to Camp Nou. Barcelona's current financial strength isn't strong enough to afford Musiala so I will want to believe that this is just a mere rumour.

His statement tells us how much Arteta is happy with the Gunners. First of all, I appreciate that the Arsenal club has actually made this decision. He has definitely shown a lot of improvements with Arsenal in recent times. One can argue that he has also spent a lot of money. But I believe in this day and age everyone is spending a lot of money. The thing that matters is, whether is he bringing good results or not. And I think he is definitely bringing in good results. And obviously, this is going to give him the confidence to actually work without any hesitation in the future.

By the way, the expectations are also going to be very high from him because now they are giving him money almost the same as Guardiola because they are expecting the same kind of results from him. I hope he will be able to handle that expectation.
