For Bordeaux Le Mag, the journalist Laurent Brun commented on the latest information regarding the interest inOliver
Kahn for the Girondins de Bordeaux, who could arrive with funds from Saudi Arabia.
“There, we are a little further ahead compared to last week, even if there is still a way to go and the road is long (laughs). I'll say what I said again, I think Oliver Kahn is a serious guy. Well, there is a project, now we learn that there is perhaps Saudi Arabia behind it, and there is money there. There is also experience already in European football… Well, why not. I have the impression that every week there is a little new element that is added, and that it can be more and more credible. Obviously, Oliver Kahn came with two clubs to Bordeaux, he knows Bixente Lizarazu, he knows Willy Sagnol… I saw Willy Sagnol last week in town by the way. He is there, so he is very aware of what is happening in Bordeaux… Anyway, even when he is abroad, he necessarily has an eye on what is happening at the Girondins. If he chose to stay and live here, it's not for nothing, so I imagine there were discussions, that's for sure. There are also old people who are there, there is Gernot Rohr, even if I don't know if they know each other. In short, this can facilitate the exchange of ideas, also on knowledge of the club. Maybe we will have additional elements soon… in short, it's a serious lead, and today we only heard about this one, except perhaps Bruno Fievet.
Bordeaux always attracts in all cases.
“Look at the players who came this year, they didn’t come for the money, even if there are federal contracts and so on. They still came for the challenge, even though there were even fewer guarantees four or five months ago than today. Because Bordeaux always attracts. Bruno Irles could also have left for a Ligue 1, a league 2, in Europe, and they came for the challenge, and not for the money. Bordeaux still attracts, and things are also becoming more peaceful among the supporters, so congratulations to them. Bordeaux has 10,000 people at the stadium in the fourth division, and that too has its appeal.”
