The sale of OM has never seemed so concrete. A new strong testimony attests to this again this Wednesday.
A true sea serpent, the sale of OM is still at the heart of the news this Wednesday evening, revived by the testimony of a close friend of Frank McCourt, the lawyer Didier Poulmaire, who in 2016 was on the welcoming committee of the American businessman in France. Invited on the air of RMC, the person admitted that there was “ always noise » recently in Marseille regarding a resale of the club.
“ I’m being probed, yesadmits Me Poulmaire. But I am subject to professional secrecy, so unfortunately I cannot tell you about it… » A confession which obviously does not commit to anything but still reinforces the body of clues converging towards the thesis of an upcoming transfer. While OM is going through a difficult season, its valuation has never been so significant, approaching 400 million euros when Frank McCourt, at the time, bet some 50 million.
