Figures have been put forward by Canal+ regarding a possible sale of OM. For a journalist from the encrypted channel, the case could be resolved in a few weeks.

We can no longer count the alerts on a possible sale of Olympique de Marseille. Although owner Frank McCourt assures his full involvement in the Provençal club’s project, the rumor of a disengagement by the American businessman remains alive.

Saturday evening, on the occasion of OM-Lille broadcast by the group Canal+, commentator Paul Tchoukriel raised the subject and the fact that there was a lot of talk about it at the moment. He was referring in particular to the comments of one of his colleagues from the encrypted channel.

“200 million for recruitment”

The day before, David Berger had even put forward figures on a probable operation in progress. “OWe are talking about 400 million, as well as an envelope of 200 million for recruitment, said the journalist. This sale could even take place in January, meaning the events of last weekend may have served to speed up the process. »

The attack on OL buses last Sunday in Marseille would, according to him, be a way of destabilizing OM. To weaken it a little more and make it unmanageable by the current management. Which would push Frank McCourt to seriously consider giving up the business.

A purely hypothetical theory, of course. We will see in a few weeks if David Berger was right. Or if it was just another rumor with no real basis.
