There is no doubt that the project, if it had come to fruition, would have been subject to reactions. Let’s even say to critics. Because the magazine Challenges in an article focused on behind the scenes of the takeover of Paris FC by the LVMH group and the Arnault family, we learn that the other club in the capital had other suitors for its takeover.
Eyraud represents two American investors
One of which is a well-known face to supporters of the capital’s first rival club, more true of PSG than of its Ligue 2 cousin: a certain Jacques-Henri Eyraud, former president of Olympique de Marseille. Challenges evokes the 56-year-old entrepreneur, as supporting the interests of two American investors.
Since his final departure from OM he no longer has a role in football
The Saudi fund at the head of Newcastle in the Premier League and the one which is in the process of taking over Red Stars in Ligue 2 were also part of the round table. The information therefore assumes the desire of Jacques-Henri Eyraud to return to the world of football, he who was excluded in 2O21 against the backdrop of a gaping divide with the supporters of OM, of which he will have managed the presidency of October 2016 to February 2021. He will subsequently remain on the supervisory board until his definitive departure from the club at the end of the 2022 financial year.
