Through Jacques-Henri Eyraud, Oliver Kahn inquired about the Girondins de Bordeaux with a view to a potential takeover. Discussions are far from advanced at the moment. But the former Bayern Munich goalkeeper firmly believes in his project.
Fired by Bayern Munich in May 2023, Oliver Kahn could make his return to the world of Football in France. And more precisely on the Bordeaux side. Represented by the former president of Olympique de Marseille Jacques-Henri Eyraud, the German took information about the Girondins with a view to a potential takeover. The Bavarian legend undoubtedly learned that the Aquitaine club remained under threat of judicial liquidation after its administrative demotion to National 2 last summer.
Owner Gérard Lopez, still in the red financially, is opening the door wide to the arrival of a new investor. The lucky one could be Oliver Kahn even if he quickly cooled down following the publication of the information in the columns of Sud Ouest. “ Discussions about a possible entry into the Girondins de Bordeaux are only just beginninghe told Bild. There is nothing further to say at this point. » The former president of Bayern Munich, however, said more in a recent interview with Kicker. It was an opportunity for him to confirm his plan to become a club owner.
Oliver Kahn's project
« If everything fits, I can imagine it very welladmitted Oliver Kahn. (…) I work intensively on the theme of club investment. Investing in football is different from investing in a screw manufacturer. Football is about culture, identity and community. » To succeed in this area, the new businessman wants to take an example from David Beckham, the co-owner of Inter Miami who proves “ that a strong combination of investment and sporting expertise can bring many benefits to a club “. And why not in Bordeaux?
