For several years now, Olympique de Marseille has had to face a crazy rumor: that of a possible takeover by Saudi investors. And it is not the words of Prince Abdullah Saad Abdulaziz Al Saud, a member of the Saudi royal family, who will put an end to these speculations.
Quite the contrary. “I think it’s a good investment to invest in France. OM, Monaco… these teams are performing well. (…) They will be able to become champions and be stronger. I know Marseille. Marseille played with Djibril Cissé, Ravanelli… It’s a good teamhe declared to the media Carré on Youtubebefore mentioning the possibility that Zinédine Zidane finds himself on the Marseille team. I don’t know what’s going on between Saudi Arabia and Zinedine Zidane regarding Marseille, but anything is possible. Zinedine Zidane is a good coach and he is a legend, of course. »
💬 “Everything is possible”
