Here are the latest developments from the series to buy Olympique de Marseille, fully relaunched this Friday by announcements from Mourad Boudjellal.
Recall of facts
It was Mourad Boudjellal who set fire to La Canebière this weekend. The former president of the Toulonnais Rugby Club, who is now looking to invest in football, announced that he was ” bearer of an offer for the OM club, funds from the Middle East ”. What dream supporters of Phocaeans, while Le Figaro announces at the same time that the recruitment envelope could be 200 million euros.
OM denied
No big surprise, Olympique de Marseille quickly denied this information. “OM is not for sale”, thus assured the club of Frank McCourt with the magazine Challenges. In addition, the magazine indicates that the bank Rotschild, which would have been mandated by these mysterious Middle Eastern investors for the transaction, is “Aware of nothing”. Discretion is recommended in these types of cases, so it’s hard to know what to do with these denials.
Bin Talal is out of the loop
Boudjellal explained that ” funds from the Middle East, private companies, state companies, and therefore state funds, are interested in OM ”. All eyes quickly turned to Saudi Prince Al Walid Bin Talal, whose name had already been mentioned a few weeks ago about the acquisition of OM. Those around him also denied, reports RMC. “SFollowing rumors published in recent hours in some French media and social networks, there is no link between the prince and the supposed interest of Mr. Boudjellal for OM. »
Boudjellal appointed president… of Toulon
Mourad Boudjellal definitely had a funny day. While he assured that his plan to take over SC Toulon was “Stillborn”, the leader was (on the same day) officially appointed president of the Var club, relegated to National 2 at the end of the season. But SC Toulon specifies: “After long discussions and a few twists and turns, an agreement was finalized this afternoon between Claude Joye and Mourad Boudjellal. This agreement is nevertheless subject to a condition precedent – with deadline – linked to the disengagement of Mourad Boudjellal from another project in which he is involved. “ Boudjellal therefore has an official exit door for OM…
