Holder of a Master’s degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university course that it was important to evolve in a field that we appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to the dream of my parents, who saw me as a future lawyer, to live from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered mercatos and sports news, trying to inform readers as well as possible.

New thunderclap in the soap opera on the sale of OM. Last Friday, many Saudi media spoke of an imminent sale of the Marseille club. The PIF is about to settle in Marseille. And it is not the journalist Thibaud Vézirian, who will say the opposite.

“Urgent: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, represented by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), is about to buy a French club, Marseille. This Friday, the Saudi media SkySport was the first to drop this bomb. Information taken up, but very little confirmed by the media. 10Sport.com had already mentioned an interest fromSaudi Arabia for’ABOUTwhich could therefore pass under the Saudi flag.

“Saudi media and businessmen have been clearer than usual…”

Journalist, Thibaud Vezirian spoke on this issue. “You always have to take the height with this file, it often goes in all directions and it is regularly orchestrated to misinform. But Friday was different. The Saudi media and businessmen have been clearer than usual…” he said, dropping some clues during his live on Twitch. Indeed, by scrutinizing the official documents of theABOUT, he noted that Frank McCourt appears as a “former beneficiary from 10/16/2016 to 6/12/2023”. So has the boss jumped ship?

McCourt about to abandon Marseille?

“According to some experts I have contacted, this corresponds to corrections of transcription errors that have existed since the takeover of the club. It was therefore a question of correcting them. But it’s true that this type of correction is sometimes made a few days before a sale is made official, otherwise you don’t care to make them… It was a bit the case at Paris FC, for example, before the transfer to Bahrain . If you go to the registry documents, Frank McCourt appears to be the owner of the club on July 16, 2023. And you will not see any document saying the opposite before a public formalization of the transfer… ”explained Vezirian.
