US EditionRowe signs for Bologna after Marseille bust-up
Jonathan Rowe, aged 22, signed a four-year contract with Bologna for €19.5 million after a violent altercation at Marseille led to his transfer listing, club officials said.
- On August 24, 2025, Bologna officially secured the transfer of 22-year-old Jonathan Rowe, a winger from Olympique Marseille, in a deal worth €19.5 million.
- The transfer followed a violent altercation between Rowe and his Marseille teammate Adrien Rabiot, which led the club to transfer list both players and freeze them out.
- Marseille's coach Roberto De Zerbi described the confrontation as a rare 'English pub fight' that left one player unconscious and said neither player was in his plans.
- Club president Pablo Longoria described the clash as extremely intense and unlike anything he had experienced before, while De Zerbi expressed optimism that the situation with Rabiot could eventually be resolved.
- Rowe's move to Bologna, a club that recently lost its Serie A opener 1-0 to Roma, suggests a fresh start after a troubled stint at Marseille marked by serious internal conflict.
