The contours of the takeover offer made to Frank McCourt begin to take shape on this crazy day on Friday in terms of the future of OM.
Mourad Boudjellal is the bearer of the offers and the media figure of this operation, and he will clearly be the president of the Provencal club if the sale ever takes place. So far, the former RC Toulon financier has tried to keep secret the identity of investors capable of putting 700 ME on the table for all the measures aimed at recovering OM. But AFP revealed a little more deeply the men and the countries behind this process. The person behind the takeover would thus be Mohamed Ayachi Ajroud, a Franco-Tunisian businessman, who is among his many functions chairman of the board of directors of a subsidiary of industrial construction in the Mediterranean in Saudi Arabia. The 68-year-old businessman also owns a television channel in Tunisia, in addition to political involvement and responsibilities in numerous economic affairs.
Links that have often allowed him to do business with the Kingdom, and which allow him to be very listened to in Riyadh. He has also been resident in Saudi Arabia, in Jeddah, for more than 30 years. Because behind these vertiginous amounts for the redemption, is indeed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which had its eye on OM for some time now, as rumors had let it show. It remains to know the real role of Mohamed Ayachi Ajroud, who facilitated the gathering of investors and could play the role of representing the owners in various decisions. While waiting to see if all this will be confirmed of course, OM being for the moment still the property of Frank McCourt, and the change at this level cannot be made in less than three months, which would push the buyout in September or October.
