While a new crisis is shaking up Olympique de Marseille, the club is in the process of changing hands. Frank McCourt would have reached an agreement with Saudi Arabia.
Olympique de Marseille is suffering. Behind the scenes, where the last few weeks have been marked by a stormy meeting between managers and supporters and the resignation of Marcelino, as well as on the pitch, where the Ciel et Blanc remain on two defeats against PSG and Monaco. But some good news could bring a smile back: the file for the sale of Olympique de Marseille is about to be completed.
Recently, France Bleu Provence even explained that Saudi Arabia, approached for several months to take control of the Marseille club, had reached an agreement with Zinedine Zidane. This information was nevertheless quickly denied by i24News, relying on sources close to Saudi investors. But the sound of the story is once again completely different in the mouth of Thibaud Vezirian.
According to the former The Team, who repeatedly repeats that the sale of OM to Saudi Arabia is inevitable, the negotiations between the American businessman and the Saudi investors are reaching their goal. According to him, there would only be details left to resolve. “The club is already dealt. The deal club is set, everything is falling into place,” he assured in a live on Twitch.
After spending 50 million euros in 2017 to buy the club from Margarita Louis-Dreyfus and spending almost 500 million euros on the transfer market, Frank McCourt hoped to get more than 500 million from the sale of the club.
