According to information from our colleagues at the Parisian this Saturday, a new actor, unknown until then, would have entered the dance for the redemption of AS Saint-Étienne. It’s about crown prince of Cambodia, Norodom Ravichak.
The grandson of King Sihanouk would have transmitted an offer of 100 million euros at the cabinet KPMG, in charge of studying the club’s redemption applications. According to the daily, the Saint-Etienne leaders have not yet responded to this offer.
The newspaper explains that “Norodom Ravichak is in love with France as was his grandfather, a personal friend of General de Gaulle and a convinced Francophile until his death in 2012. Passionate about football, the prince wishes, through the purchase of’one of the most emblematic clubs of French football, perpetuating the close links which have always existed between France and Cambodia, including in the scientific, cultural and sporting fields. Since the restoration of the Cambodian monarchy after the Cold War, part of the Norodom family now lives between Paris and Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia.“.
