Rumors about the possible sale of OM have not disappeared despite the many denials of Frank McCourt. Some journalists do not believe in the arrival of Saudi investors in Marseille, while others indicate that the club will change owners.

After Newcastle , the OM will it pass under the Saudi flag? For several months, rumors have indicated that the Marseille club could be sold to Saudi investors. At the beginning of the year, the name of prince Al-Walid Bin Talal was mentioned on the side of Marseille , but this interest was denied. “We went to the League, to the Town Hall, to the club, and even to the entourage of Al-Walid bin Talal where we have two sources who tell us that these are completely unfounded rumors,” hysterical rantings ” to take up certain themes. But the problem is that there are so many people who believe in it, that even if we have all the negations in the world, a moment when another, a doubt sets in despite everything “announced the journalist of the Provence Fabrice Lamperti. And this doubt is maintained by some like Thibaud Vézirian, who has been announcing for several months the upcoming sale of the OM to investors from Saudi Arabia and this despite the numerous denials of Frank McCourt. “I am not a salesman. I am at OM for a very long time, God willing. OM have to play in the Champions League every year. It is an obligation. At the end of the season, OM must qualify for this competition. I have a strong ambition for OM, I am passionate about this club. And I am very determined to reach the top. OM supporters deserve a great club and great results, ”the American owner announced last July in an interview with L'Equipe.
