The rumor of Zinedine Zidane coming to Olympique de Marseille sparked the strangest comments on the web.
The Zinedine Zidane soap opera takes on new momentum at Olympique de Marseille. Despite his desire to take over the reins of a team since his departure from Real Madrid in June 2021, the 98 Ballon d’Or has encountered obstacles, including the extension of Didier Deschamps at the head of the France team.
Although rumors have associated him with the Brazilian selection, Manchester United or even the United States, none of these projects would have convinced the former number 10 of the Blues. After Carlo Ancelotti’s extension at Real Madrid, Juventus Turin, where he played as a player from 1996 to 2001, and Olympique Marseille, were naturally suggested as potential destinations. Especially since the former Merengue coach never held back from declaring his love for the Marseille club. “OM is my favorite club,” he confided for BeIn Sports.
Recent information from the media Le Foot has relaunched the possibility of seeing Zidane join the resident of Ligue 1, particularly in the event of the club being bought by the Saudis. These speculations have also sparked intriguing comments from the writer Zoé Sagan. “I’m being sent a series of hot files on Frank McCourt, the owner of Olympique de Marseille, who is opening the door to Zidane and Saudi Arabia, but I imagine it’s easier to touch the mafia in France only at OM, right? “, he wrote this Tuesday on Twitter.
