The potential sale of Olympique de Marseille continues to fuel debate. A personality from the world of football provided important details.
It’s a subject that has tormented lovers of Olympique de Marseille for many years: can Frank McCourt sell the club in the short or medium term? The regional media France Bleu Provence relaunched, a few months ago, the possibility of seeing OM move under the Saudi flag.
But according to Jérôme Rothen, it’s not the Olympique de Marseillebut AS Monaco, which could pass into the hands of a Saudi investment fund. “One must stop dreaming with Saudi Arabia, if they had to come they would have done so well before. We will certainly release another file in a few weeks. Saudi Arabia is against AS Monaco and things seem to be progressing well. A project for 2025? Yes, and this one doesn’t come from anywhere,” said the ex-French international.

After more than a decade under the command of the wealthy Russian Dmitri Rybolovlev, AS Monaco is preparing to open a new era. “Following the receipt of unsolicited interest, the majority shareholder of AS Monaco has decided to initiate a procedure to explore strategic alternatives for its participation in the club.”
“The majority shareholder has used the services of the Raine Group which will act as exclusive financial advisor in this matter. No guarantee is given as to the conclusion of a transaction involving the club following this strategic review, and, at this time, we do not intend to make any further comments on this subject. concluded Jérôme Rothen, who played for AS Monaco during his playing career.
