Posted on December 29, 2021 at 1:30 p.m. by TM While it is announced that OM could find themselves at the heart of a huge Saudi Arabian project, the truth may well be different in the end . Explanations. Rumors of a sale of the OM have been around a lot for over a year now. In fact, in the face of this, Frank McCourt has continued to deny, assuring that he had no intention of letting go of the Marseille club that he had acquired in 2017. However, despite these updates from the American, some still say that the OM will change hands and go under the Saudi flag. Since February, the journalist assures him, the Marseille club has already been sold. While formalization is still pending, Saudi Arabia could be the next boss at OM . This would in any case be the project envisaged by the PIF , the Saudi investment fund. Recently, Saudi Arabia burst into the football world by buying Newcastle . But now the Saudis might not stop there, like the City Group , they could build a galaxy of clubs around the world. Thus, it was notably announced that after the Magpies, it was OM and Inter Milan that could be redeemed. “The acquisition of these teams is also part of the priority strategic investments of Mohammed Ben Salman’s vision 2030, which is the blueprint for Saudi Arabia’s vision and economic transformation. (…) It would have been unthinkable before Crown Prince MBS took power in 2017 and once this buyout is made public, Inter will become the richest team in the world. Under the leadership of Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, Saudi Arabia is aggressively diversifying its economy. With the acquisition of Inter Milan, which adds to the potential acquisitions of the French team Marseille, as well as an unknown leading Brazilian team, Saudi Arabia aims to become a major player in international football. “Said Andrea Zanon , financial advisor and connoisseur of the Middle East. A huge plan would therefore be set in motion and OM could thus be at the heart of it. However, this colossal Saudis project may ultimately not see the light of day. In any case, this is what the Italian journalist, Nicolo Schira explained. Indeed, according to him, PIF is not currently in discussions to buy Inter Milan . All that is said about it would be fake news. What then also call into question the announced takeover of OM by Saudi Arabia?
