France international Adrien Rabiot has signed a contract with Marseille after completing his medical. The 29-year-old midfielder was a free agent after declining to extend his contract with Juventus, where he spent five seasons.
The French first division is made up of 18 professional football clubs. The Ligue 1 teams meet twice a season, once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents. The top three teams are directly qualified for the group phase of the Champions League, while the 4th placed team play the third qualifying round of Europe's top football competition. The two teams at the bottom are relegated directly, while the 16th-placed team is sent to a relegation playoff.
