If the discussions between Frank McCourt and Saudi Arabia are confirmed, another businessman could be involved in the operation.
Marseille supporters experienced new disillusionment this Sunday evening. Traveling to Bollaert, Olympique de Marseille lost 1-0 in added time. Enough to frustrate Olympian fans a little more. A well-known insider in the Marseille community, Marwan Belckacem obviously wanted to bring some comfort to their hearts. The one who was the first to announce the arrival of Iliman Ndiaye or reveal the club’s interest in Geoffrey Kondogbia has indeed once again raised the issue of the sale of OM.
“ So perhaps some will understand the washing machine that takes place every summer at OM. The instability of the club because of Zeroual and co is one thing. But using it as a cover to disguise your poop is ugly. And yes there are real meetings with Saudi Arabia friends, come on that’s all for me, I deactivate”, he said.
But according to Thibaud Vezirian, who made the sale of OM his business, Saudi Arabia is not the only protagonist in this matter. The journalist confirmed for his part that the Indian billionaire, Mukesh Ambani, was also involved in this matter. “The Saudis, that’s the thing to remember, Indians also in the deal, so we’re talking about Mukesh Ambani, one of the biggest billionaires in the world. As I told you, how many percent shareholder of this consortium… Who is sponsoring? There are several entities that are mixed together”he announced, adding: “ These are societies, people who need soft power. Who have huge ties with CMA-CGM and Saudi Arabia. Ambani is one of the ten biggest billionaires. We will see in what form it is in the consortium and to what extent.”
