The hypothesis of a sale of Olympique de Marseille in the medium term continues to fuel debate in the Marseille city.
It’s an endless soap opera which agitates Marseille for several years: can Frank McCourt sell OM in the short or medium term? The hypothesis of a takeover by a Saudi investment fund has been mentioned several times by several sources, including France Bleu Provence. The regional media reported a possible arrival of Zinédine Zidane after the club came under the Saudi flag.
This Wednesday, lawyer Didier Poulmaire spoke on Jérôme Rothen’s show on RMC. With a clear message to convey: OM would be good to sell. “I am being probed, yes. I am subject to professional secrecy, so unfortunately I cannot tell you about it… There is always noise,” said Poulmaire.
Sale of OM: Riolo speaks
Called to comment on this media release, Daniel Riolo cooled the rumor of a sale. If the journalist confirms that OM could be sold, the price set by Frank McCourt would not correspond to the expectations of potential buyers at the moment.
“Poulmaire said nothing, we know that OM is for sale but that there is no real buyer and that McCourt is asking too much money. We’ve been saying it for months, it’s better to call Poulmaire to talk about triathlon”, thundered Riolo with his usual irony, in After Foot. As a reminder, Frank McCourt has always officially denied rumors concerning a potential sale of OM.
