OM: McCourt will buy two other clubs?

A few months ago, Frank McCourt raised the possibility of buying a satellite club, in order to promote the development of OM's young talents. With this in mind, discussions took place with Martigues and Aubagne. The residents of Ligue 2 and National have indicated that they are very interested in this idea.

In an interview given to Provence last May, Frank McCourt had expressed his desire to buy a satellite club. Which would allow theABOUT to lend its young talents in order to develop them and offer them more playing time. Since then, this project does not seem to have progressed much, but as indicated by the regional daily, the first approaches took place several months ago with Aubagne.

“There’s no point in wanting to stand up to the ogre”

« Medhi Benatia is an intelligent person. I think that OM did not want to commit too quickly so they should take the time to analyze our way of working at a high level before throwing themselves into the project. », we indicate within the resident of National. According to Provencediscussions could resume this winter and Aubagne would like an agreement to be reached next June: “ We have clearly understood that to exist, there is no point in wanting to stand up in front of the ogre but rather to line up behind him. »

“We must serve as a springboard for the young people of OM”

Martigues could also become a satellite club of theABOUT. « We must serve as a springboard for the young people of OM. And vice versa, if our players have L1 level, it would be better for them to sign for OM rather than Montpellier or Nantes. This is the best solution for the whole region, let us be strong together “, declared Djamal Mohamedsports director of the club Ligue 2. Martiguesinterested in a young player fromABOUTet Aubagneunder the spell of Robinio Vaz (17 years old) and Roggerio Nyakossi (20 years old), would therefore be very keen to join the Olympian galaxy.
