Holder of a Master’s degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents’ dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.

The sale of OM is not on the table if Frank McCourt’s words are to be believed. Annoyed by the rumors surrounding his future, the owner of the club explained that he had no intention of leaving. In any case, Saudi Arabia would be in financial difficulty, which complicates any acquisition on the market.

Over time, OM supporters stopped hoping. Today, the sale of the Marseille club has become illusory, a sweet dream shared only by a few journalists like Thibaud Vézirian. At each of his lives Twitchthe journalist discusses this issue and gives a speech which contrasts radically with Frank McCourt’s latest comments. From passing to Marseille A few weeks ago, the American sealed his future by indicating that he had no intention of leaving the ship.

Vézirian sticks to his positions

But the words of McCourt did not convince Vezirian. « No, the formalization lights have not turned red at all. But unfortunately there are always the hazards of business, possible postponements and that is not for lack of saying it in each sentence. Even when we say that the sources are confident, we ask to take a step back and be careful. There are always people who are very confident and that is why these people are, like me, sure and certain of what is happening to OM. I have every certainty…I’m not here to convince, it will be a very nice surprise for you.” he blurted.

Bankruptcy for the Saudis?

L’Saudi Arabia could succeed him. The powerful state would be part of an international consortium. But it is clear that no notable movement has been recorded. Especially since Saudi Arabia is not going through the most prosperous period in its history. “We can clearly see in our discussions with the Saudis that things are getting complicated. We are moving more slowly, because money is more scarce than a year or two ago” a French executive confided to the magazine Challenges. Another manager of a CAC40 company confirms: “ The kingdom is running out of cash “. Not the best timing to buy a football club.
