France midfielder Adrien Rabiot has joined Ligue 1 club Marseille as a free agent.

Rabiot has been without a club since leaving Italian side Juventus in July.

The 29-year-old featured five times at Euro 2024 as France reached the semi-finals.

He was reportedly a target for several Premier League clubs over the summer, including Manchester United.

Rabiot spent a brief spell in Manchester City's academy before signing for Paris St-Germain, where he made his senior debut.

During his time in the French capital he won 18 trophies and lifted the Ligue 1 title on five occasions.

Rabiot moved to Juventus in 2019-20, winning Serie A during his maiden campaign in Turin, and went on to win two Italian Cups and one Italian Super Cup.

Marseille sit second in Ligue 1 after picking up 10 points from their opening four games under new manager Roberto de Zerbi.
