While OM are currently runners-up to PSG in the Ligue 1 standings, the sale file is still taking its course.
Olympique de Marseille regained its senses after the rout in the classic by winning in Nantes. But if Roberto De Zerbi's training is going rather well, behind the scenes, we learned on Saturday that the president of the supervisory board, Barry Cohen, was giving up his place to another close friend of Frank McCourt. The American owner of OM is even expected this week in Marseille, since he should attend the match against Auxerre, Friday evening at the Vélodrome. For Thibaud Vézirian, all this ultimately changes nothing, because the journalist still has no doubt about McCourt's desire to sell the Marseille club, and he again had confirmation this weekend. This is what he confirmed to his followers this Monday, specifying why this famous OM sale was slow to materialize.
The sale of OM may fall from one day to the next, or not
« Again this weekend, I had confirmation from a senior person in a ministry that the entire process I have been talking about since 2021 is completely accurate. And that the club will be in very good hands. There is a process of development of valuation which will be put in place (sic) until formalization. Until everyone's interests have been reconciled, there will be no formalization. So it could happen overnight, it could be the case now, that's what we hope. Given the level of confirmations, everything is on track and there is no need to give up (…) Concerning the Vélodrome, the mayor of Marseille has said publicly, the stadium will be sold to the future owner of the 'OM without any problem. This is part of an investment logic and this has always been said. Barry Cohen who is retiring as head of surveillance, Jeff Ingram who succeeds him… While waiting for the rest », Specified Thibaud Vézirian, not at all worried by the passage of time and the increasingly obvious disinterest of Olympique de Marseille supporters for this recurring subject.
