While rumors about the sale of Olympique de Marseille to Saudi investors are becoming more and more insistent, Samir Nasri is calling for the departure of Frank McCourt.
Marseille supporters experienced another difficult weekend. If this time, the Olympique de Marseille match was able to take place, Gennaro Gattuso’s men had to settle for a poor draw against Lille (0-0). Enough for Ciel et Blanc to remain stuck in the soft underbelly of the rankings.
