Adrien Rabiot facing Jonathan Rowe, an improbable second act

The two players had to leave OM after an altercation and will meet again in a few days.

The Rabiot and Rowe affair is over in Marseille. After the signing of Englishman Jonathan Rowe in Bologna, Italy, for €19.5 million and a four-year contract a few days ago, it's the turn of international midfielder Adrien Rabiot to leave Marseille and head to Italy, according to information from Fabrizio Romano. The former Parisian will sign his contract this Monday and don the iconic AC Milan jersey. OM had set his purchase price at €15 million, knowing that the player, who had made significant salary increases upon his arrival in Provence, will receive a profit-sharing bonus on the transfer. The final figure is reportedly around €10 million.

But a comical scene could soon unfold for the two players, as Rabiot's arrival in Italy will mean a quick reunion with Rowe. AC Milan is set to host Bologna on Sunday, September 14th for the third matchday of Serie A. It's not certain that the two men will fall into each other's arms, but in any case, the scene will be closely watched, as will the duels during the match.
