Adrien Rabiot completed a transfer to AC Milan, signing a three-year contract for a reported fee of around €10 million. He left Marseille after a locker-room fight with Jonathan Rowe that followed a 1-0 loss to Rennes; Rowe subsequently joined Bologna. Milan will host Bologna on Sept. 14, creating the possibility of an early meeting between the former teammates. Rabiot returns to Italy a year after leaving Juventus, where he won multiple domestic titles and spent three seasons under coach Massimiliano Allegri. Rabiot received permission to join France teammates to finalize the move ahead of World Cup qualifying.
Rabiot was one of the best Marseille players last season, helping the 1993 Champions League winner return to Europe's top club competition. But the France midfielder was put on the transfer list last month following a fight with a teammate, England Under-21 forward Jonathan Rowe. The pair argued and fought in the locker room after losing to Rennes 1-0 in their Ligue 1 season opener.
Milan have reportedly paid Marseille around €10 million for Rabiot, who signed a three-year contract with the Rossoneri and returns to Italy a year after he left Juventus for the French club as a free agent. Rabiot won one Serie A title, two Italian Cups and one Italian Super Cup in five years at Juventus -- three of which were spent under current Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri.
