That the name of Oliver Kahn is linked to a possible recovery of the Girondins de Bordeaux is no longer a surprise for many people. For a few months now, the former goalkeeper of Bayern Munich has been talking about the subject, as was the case at the microphone of the ZDF :: “I like to develop clubs and projects. I can't say more for now. I have always followed what was going on but it is a big project that we cannot lead alone … “ But this Friday, a new step was taken.
As relayed RMCOliver Kahn landed in the Girondine prefecture to meet the municipal team as well as the metropolis whose socialist president, Christine Bost, made a brief declaration after the meeting: “It was a serious meeting with serious people. »» A way of confirming the true interest of the German in a takeover of the Girondins that he could negotiate with his business partner, a certain Jacques-Henri Eyraud, well known to the followers of Olympique de Marseille.
Fruitful discussions
Christine Bost revealed some of the subjects covered this Friday: “What seems to prevail in their philosophy is first of all the sports project (…). As a priority, we feel the wish to carry the sporting club. (…) We also mentioned the future of the stadium. The doors are open and it can potentially be part of their global project. »» The possible resumption of the Bordeaux club therefore seems to advance in the right direction with regard to the project presented by the duo Kahn-Eyraud.
For the time being, the Girondins are still evolving in National 2 where they currently occupy the leader of their pool.

Its debt is estimated at a few hundred and eight million euros.
