OM sold to Saudi interests, it is only a rumor for the moment. But the news is that Saudi Arabia’s investment budget has been released. And Marseille would have plenty to do.
Despite the regular investments and the financial means put on the transfer market which are for example much higher than those deployed by Olympique Lyonnais, OM supporters are not very numerous to be behind Frank McCourt to continue to lead the club. The American owner is paying off the debts, but he can’t do anything against the Saudi dream. In the Marseille community, we clearly dream of seeing the new major investor in world football take control of the Olympian club and restore its luster of the 1990s with the possibility of going for the Champions League and the title of champion of France, if possible under the nose and beard of PSG.
A big investment to come?
For the moment, it remains in the realm of dreams even if many rumors are emerging, on this interest from Saudi Arabia for another European club than Newcastle, in a championship in sight and where it is still very easy to redeem clubs. With the passion that surrounds OM, the explosive combo is a memory put forward to explain that the Provençal club could well change dimension.
Especially since, in recent days, economists have recalled that Saudi Arabia intends to continue to invest massively, both on the transfer market to recruit stars for its championship, but also in the acquisition of a club. and in the investment to afford the organization of a World Cup soon. If ever the Kingdom were to get their hands on OM, the means would be colossal, said Ben Jacobs, journalist for CBS and specialist in monitoring Saudi investments.

For the journalist, the financial reserve to invest in football is mind-blowing. “ Each Saudi club has its own recruitment network for players. The goal is to attract a major player, and then use that leverage to attract others. It’s the same for the clubs (after Newcastle). The budget for this is totally flexible. But I have been told that there are 20 billion euros to be spent between now and 2030. This budget is allocated according to needs and desires “, told Ben Jacobs to the British media FIVE.
Even if nobody doubted it, the Saudi budget to invest in Europe is colossal and leaves no doubt about the financial capacity to recover one or two several clubs if the need were felt. For the moment, Saudi Arabia has not officially launched a takeover, even if the signals are starting to be more and more numerous for a major operation with a club from the Old Continent.
