Contrary to what some rumors suggest, the sale of OM would not be on the table, according to Florent Germain.
Olympique de Marseille about to be sold? Since several weeks, Rumors are rife on this subject. If some are convinced that the sale of the Marseille club is on the verge of success, like Thibaud Vezirian, others think that this is not news. This is the case of journalist Florent Germain, who made it known that Frank McCourt had no intention, for the moment, of selling the residents of the Stade Vélodrome. Pablo Longoria would have made this known to the players.
“McCourt strongly denies”
“Frank McCourt is still invested and Pablo Longoria has confirmed it. Longoria asks in which big clubs a shareholder or owner speaks every six months? McCourt is not president. Longoria has carte blanche and McCourt trusts him. On the rumors of the club being sold, I obviously asked him about the owner’s position. McCourt denies forcefully even if he can’t do it every time “, indicated Florent Germain in the After Marseille podcast.
“Longoria guarantees that McCourt will last”
And the RMC journalist added: “Pablo Longoria was obviously affected by so many sales rumors, and this could even have disrupted the locker room because some players even went to see the president asking him to tell them the truth and where the club was going. Longoria guarantees that McCourt will last and proves that he is indeed present at the head of OM. If some people don’t want to hear it, what else do you want us to do…”
