It is an old sea snake that we still do not see the tail … It has now been several years that corridor noises circulate on a possible sale of Olympique de Marseille to wealthy investors from Saudi Arabia.
Rumors well fed by Thibaud Vézirian. The former journalist of the L'Equipe channel even ensures that the sale of OM to the Saudis was finalized more than four years ago, and that it would only miss formalization.

Benatia answers Vézirian on x
