According to the indiscretions of journalist Romain Haering, Frank McCourt is indeed seeking to sell Olympique de Marseille. But everything has its price.
Rumors around a potential sale of OM continue to make headlines in the various sports editorial offices and fuel fans’ fantasies. Olympian leaders calm things down, but information continues to leak.
Journalist Romain Haering, from Le Phocéen, also confided that Saudis approached Frank McCourt, and that the businessman did not say no.
“ The reality is that there were approaches and it didn’t go much further. There was no press release during rereading. There was a knock on the door to ask the price. We told them no, or Frank McCourt doesn’t want to sell, period. Either we said it was 500 or 600 million euros. It’s not so clear that McCourt doesn’t want to sell.”thus considered the journalist from Phocéen in the OM Café program.
“McCourt has invested between 300 and 400 million euros since he has been there”
“What is clear is that he does not want to sell at a loss. We can respect that too. McCourt has invested between 300 and 400 million euros since he has been there. Between the buyout price and the money invested in the first transfer windows and the debts to be filled. This with his personal money, so it can be understood that he wants to get his money back “, further believes Haering, adding that the Saudis would not have been frightened by the price demanded by McCourt. “ And if there were multi-billionaire Saudis, 500 or 600 million won’t stop them. Approaches, information gathering, yes, and the answer was no. »
