The soap opera of the sale of Olympique de Marseille continues to fuel the debate.
If the coaches and the projects follow one another, the years follow one another and look alike, in Marseille. Despite Pablo Longoria’s excellent sporting record, rumors evoking a hypothetical sale of the Marseille club come back tirelessly. The influential journalist Thibaud Vézirian persists and signs by affirming that the case would already be closed for an assignment to a Saudi investment fund. A prospect that is akin to a fantasy for lovers of OM, determined to see the club switch to another dimension thanks to a new financial surface.
This week, a Greek journalist, George Tsanakas, took the floor to speak on the issue. ” Frank McCourt’s demands are still very high, but Saudi Arabia is pushing hard, he stressed. Discussions continue, we are in a crucial month and things are going to happen. Currently, the sale of OM to Saudi Arabia is blocked. The Saudis are trying to come to an agreement with the owner. Discussions take place every week between the two parties “.
“OM will be competitive again”
George Tsanakas completes his remarks by reiterating that a sale of the club would be on the agenda. ” Saudi Arabia wants to finalize the operation as soon as possible in order to have the opportunity to build a strong team from scratch. If OM change hands, there will be big changes in the team and throughout the organization, from the management to the staff. Olympique de Marseille will be competitive again. In July, the deal was very close to being finalized, but suddenly everything changed. Everyone was convinced that the sale would be completed “.
As a reminder, Frank McCourt has always denied the various rumors during his last public speeches.
