The sale of OM to a “consortium of multi-country companies” would already be “stalled”, according to Thibaud Vézirian.
While rumors of a possible sale of OM to Saudi investors have continued to circulate for several years, it is AS Monaco which is preparing to be bought by a prince from the extremely wealthy oil country, according to information disclosed on the airwaves of RMC by Daniel Riolo.
“For Monaco, negotiations are very advanced with the Saudis, confided the famous editorialist. I say Rybolovlev is selling, the question is what the Saudis are going to do when they arrive. But there is discussion about the shares, because Rybolovlev wants to keep a little share in the club and the Saudis want everything. And then there are also the shares of the Principality, and Prince Albert does not want to let go of them, which I find completely normal. There is just a discussion around this. »
“We will have a prince on one side, and a consortium on the other”
An announcement that puts an end to the hopes of Marseille supporters of seeing their club bought by the Saudis? For Thibaud Vézirian, no. The two operations are not linked and for good reason. The former journalist from the Chaîne L’Equipe ensures that the sale of OM is “stuck” and that the buyer is a “ multi-country business consortium ».
“The future is set for Monaco if a Saudi prince arrives, but that has nothing to do with the scale of the multi-country consortium of companies for Olympique de Marseille which is already setVézirian said on Twitch. ASM is a market opportunity for the Saudis, who originally didn’t even think about it. At OM, it is within the framework of major investments around the city, the port, energy, ecology with parallel deals, but in Marseille there will be the purchase of the stadium which will be done after purchasing the club, we are onto something completely different. Indeed, we will have a prince on one side, and a consortium on the other. »
