OM, the sale of the club validated

While rumors of a possible sale of OM resurfaced, former Marseillais Pascal Olmeta got totally fired up.

The saga of the sale of OM continues to be talked about… For several weeks, rumors have been rife on this subject. If Frank McCourt would indeed have been approached by Saudi investors, the discussions are struggling to settle due to the price asked by the current American owner, who would demand no less than 500 million euros to sell the club, which he bought for 75 million euros.

A sale to Saudi Arabia which would not displease Pascal Olmeta, who would like to see Olympique de Marseille at the top of the bill again. The former Ciel et Blanc goalkeeper also dreams of seeing people land on the Canebière “caliber players such as Neymar or Messi”.

“Neymar or Messi, why refuse this opportunity? »

“If OM must be sold for simple average ambitions, we might as well be transparent with the fans. But if it means being in the top three, then I’m in favor of selling.”Olmeta first indicated in the latest episode of “Yellow Card” of Team Football.

“If the new owners can bring in players of caliber such as Neymar or Messi, why turn down this opportunity? »the former French international then got excited, before concluding: “Our children wear the jerseys of these legends, so why deprive the next generation of this joy? »
