Olympique de Marseille’s season ended with a sad defeat in Ajaccio. Pablo Longoria must once again find a coach, players, and all this while the fans are still dreaming of seeing Frank McCourt sell OM.

Finally third in Ligue 1, and therefore forced to snatch their ticket for the Champions League via the preliminary round, the Marseille club completely missed its end of the season. And once again, OM will have to rebuild, since Igor Tudor has decided to throw in the towel after only one season on the Marseille bench. For the president of Olympique de Marseille, even if the page is not entirely blank, it is clear that the files are multiple, especially since Pablo Longoria loves to multiply operations in the transfer window. It remains to be seen what Frank McCourt thinks of all this, the American businessman being less and less present in Marseille. And above all, what will he do if OM do not get their ticket to the Champions League? McCourt could be tempted to sell the club bought in 2016 for less than 100 million euros. And Daniel Riolo sees only a serious candidate for redemption.

A man can buy OM and he is in Marseille

Far from believing in the fantasy of takeover by Saudi Arabia, which now seems to want to boost its own championship, the RMC journalist has an idea. And it is in the columns of Figaro that he confided the identity of the one who seems to be the only one capable of embarking on the challenge of acquiring Olympique de Marseille. ” Who will want to buy OM today? The only potential buyer is the Franco-Lebanese billionaire Rodolphe Saadé who already owns the port of Marseille and the newspaper La Provence. Owning a football club is a purely political matter. You earn little or no money with a football club. In most cases, we lose », explains Daniel Riolo. Already a sponsor of Olympique de Marseille through the CMA CGM, Rodolphe Saadé has often been questioned on this subject of the possible takeover of OM, but he has never responded favorably. Until when ?
