Certainly, the current management of the Girondins de Bordeaux does not want to hear about Olivier Kahn. While the former goalkeeper of Bayern Munich has expressed his interest for a resumption of the Bordeaux club for several months, President Gérard Lopez refuses the idea. His lawyer has one more word about it this Tuesday. And it's still no.

Gérard Lopez was present at the Bordeaux Commercial Court to present his debt restructuring plan. A debt of 70 million euros that the former Lille leader wishes to increase to 25 million euros, while the total of Girondins claims amounts to some 94 million euros. If the Bordeaux boss did not appear in front of the journalists' microphones, his lawyer, however, spoke.

And it was above all his words on the Oliver Kahn project that resonated. His remarks reported by RMC were most scathing. “Is it a serious project?” Obviously no, but it's not really a surprise. And master Cotret to tackle the former player. “When you come to the commercial court on several occasions by the back door and reappeared the day before the hearing to create a disorder that has not escaped the jurisdiction, all this is weird. »»

No proof of project financing, Oliver Kahn side

The media, however, said that the court had indeed considered the German offer and that a new hearing should take place on June 13. For Maître Cotret, there is however no concern. “Has he ever entered the game?” He's offside. Very seriously, we took the time to read the file and he talks about himself. »»

For the time being, Oliver Kahn’s offer amounts to around fifteen million euros. An amount that is not frozen in marble and that the potential buyer is ready to increase. RMC said, however, that no proof of the project was funded for the time being. Case to follow.
