Mehdi Benatia has said Adrien Rabiot did not apologise to Roberto De Zerbi during the dispute that led to the midfielder leaving Marseille.
The former Roma and Juventus central defender discussed the episode in an extensive interview with Canal+. Benatia also reflected on his controversial period in a leadership role at Marseille, which lasted from January 2025 until February 2026.
The interview has brought Benatia back into the spotlight in recent days, with particular attention focused on the circumstances surrounding Rabiot’s departure from the club.
Rabiot now plays for Milan.
