The sale of OM to Saudi Arabia is still a long way off, but there is real contact between the two parties, says a well-placed press boss. Nevertheless, summer is here and Pablo Longoria is working in the dark.
The offseason has started and Pablo Longoria is more than ever on all counts. He recently visited Frank McCourt in the United States, certainly to take stock of the financial capacities of theOlympic Marseille for the transfer market. But for the moment, the Olympian leader is forced to concentrate on the search for the future coach. The slaps have multiplied in recent days and Marcelo Gallardo’s refusal to join OM when everything seemed to be off to a good start has put a lot of people off. The Argentine would not have been satisfied with the Provencal club’s guarantees for recruitment according to South American sources, a sign that the OM transfer window may not be as flamboyant as Pablo Longoria would like.
Confirmed talks between McCourt and Saudi Arabia
Enough to put a damper on the economic health of the club, and the famous announcements of the sale of OM which would ensure royal finances for Pablo Longoria to recruit. A troubled situation which does not reassure the supporters, even if Michel Moulin, recently seen with Rolland Courbis and Zinedine Zidane at a football-related event, ensures that contacts are there between Frank McCourt and Saudi Arabia. “ If there are discussions? Maybe I’m dreaming, sometimes we hope there is a competitor at PSG. But it is true that there were some discussions between McCourt and Saudi Arabia “, delivered the press man on the waves of Europe 1.

Saudi Arabia interested, it is therefore quite possible, but for the moment, there is nothing concrete for this summer, and the transfer window which must necessarily be prepared at all levels. In any case, Michel Moulin confirms the trend, namely that the Saudis are among the few capable of buying OM, just like Rodolphe Saadé. ” Saudi Arabia or Saadé are the two who could buy OM “, he explains, while the new shirt sponsor of the Provençal club has always calmed the game on a possible intention to buy Marseille.
The only certainty for the moment, Frank McCourt remains of an Olympian calm, and his silence begins to annoy even Thibaud Vezirian, the great apostle of the sale of the club to Saudi Arabia. “ How is it possible that such a businessman who, according to Forbes, has a billion fortune, did not communicate at all on this for 2 years? asks the journalist, who was told that if Frank McCourt did not talk about such a subject, it was also perhaps because he had nothing in particular to say.
