The Olympique de Marseille will be sold to Saudi investors

The Olympique de Marseille will be sold to Saudi investors, says journalist Thibaud Vézirian. The announcement would be imminent.

Is it finally the long-awaited moment ? While the future sale of the Olympique de Marseille has been announced several times these last weeks, by Dominique Grimault or Bernard Tapie, the transaction would be very close to success. According to journalist Thibaud Vézirian, Frank McCourt will very soon sell OM to the Kingdom Holding Company, whose president is Al-Walid ben Talal Al Saoud.

"I have always taken precautions, but precautions are over," said the journalist in his latest video, published Thursday at noon. Vezirian, who can be seen on the channel L'Equipe with Estelle Denis, is categorical. Everything leads us to believe that it's over," he assures. L'OM is going to be bought out in the next few hours, in the next few days. "The press release announcing the news would even be "already written", "in proofreading. » 

The Olympique de Marseille should soon be bought by Saudi investors, with the help of funds from the United Arab Emirates. This would give the Olympic club important financial means. Prince Al-Walid's fortune was estimated at 18.7 billion dollars by Forbes in 2017. His arrival would put an end to the McCourt-Eyraud era, which should calm the anger of OM supporters.
