Not long ago, Rabiot's mother Veronica was interviewed by France's RTL Radio, criticizing the Marseille management's decision to exclude Rabiot from the team's lineup and list.

She said: "It is impossible for players like Rabiot to be kicked out of the team because of a locker room conflict. In the football circle, everyone is lying, everyone knows that others are lying, and of course they are lying."

"In the football circle, everything ends up boiling down money. If you don't understand what's going on, it's money."

In the beginning, the club's secretary-general told Rabiot's lawyers that the reason why players were excluded was "a lack of investment in recent weeks." But this was also refuted by Rabiot's mother: "I feel sad for him, considering the efforts he has put in to join Marseille and all the hard work he has put in last year. He once said that he wanted to stay because he wanted to play in the Champions League."

"Marcelona made such a decision completely out of reality, and was also putting the team in trouble, and was destroying the team's stability. I really think the chairman (Longolia) and the sports director (Benatia) are simply unable to do their position...I don't think they are suitable for this position. They do not have the qualities that this position should have. They are swallowed up by their arrogance and inflated self, and they cannot control their emotions at all."
