The arrival of Emmanuel Macron this week in Marseille has revived rumors about the sale of Olympique de Marseille. But, the camp of the skeptics weighs more and more heavy, to the point of making this subject a vast joke.
It’s a subject that either irritates or makes you smile, but the possible sale of Olympique de Marseille by Frank McCourt leaves no one indifferent. Especially since the last few days have been sensitive with the arrival in the Marseille city of Emmanuel Macron, who was directly questioned on this subject by one of the most emblematic representatives of OM supporters. And the response of the Head of State not having been absolutely clear, all interpretations were therefore possible, including those which suggest that a new investor is arriving. On social networks, it was unleashed between the two camps, Thibaud Vézirian being the standard bearer of those who are certain that Saudi Arabia is in place, and the punching bag of those who think they know it.
The sale of OM is a running gag according to him

Journalist, notably for Winamax FC, Thomas Bonnavent admits that he is in the camp of those who have a good laugh in the face of these rumors which they consider grotesque. ” All of this is utterly ridiculous, it makes me die of laughter. Especially this false paranoid to believe that Marcelino was appointed so as not to make noise and allow a better integration of Zidane who would have already signed. Or paying a big salary to Kondogbia, because the club has been bought out for two years. Maybe they will prove me wrong in one, three or five years, but in any case, I would have laughed (…) MBS does not mean Mohammed ben Salmane, it is a code name for Minots soon Saudis “, laughs, in 20 Minutes, the journalist, who does not want to make a matter of state of all this, the free daily having collected other opinions going in the same direction. Thomas Bonnavent even made a rather mischievous video of it.
