The American owner of Olympique de Marseille is expected in France within two weeks and if he arrives in France, it is to resolve some hot issues with Pablo Longoria. The Team says more.
The elimination against Atalanta Bergamo shook OM supporters, who saw the Europa League as the last opportunity for their team to please them this season. And it is not the announcement made this Sunday of the imminent arrival of Frank McCourt, who attended only one Marseille match this season at the Vélodrome, the first, which will make them smile again. Because even if some are convinced that the American billionaire is coming to town to finalize the sale of the Olympique de Marseille and set off the famous fireworks announced for three years, Matthieu Grégoire brushes all that aside. The journalist from the sports daily, who was the first to reveal the sale of OM by Margarita Louis-Dreyfus to Franck McCourt in 2016, explains the reasons for McCourt’s stay in Marseille.

Our colleague specifies that the Boston businessman is not at all decided to sell OM and that he still appreciates this role of owner of the most bland club in Ligue 1, as he is nicknamed. Provence. « In the shareholder’s entourage, we evoke a still strong attraction for his club and we brush aside the eternal rumors of the sale », Specifies Matthieu Grégoire, who is not at all opening the door to one or more Saudi investors. Obviously, this will not calm those who are convinced that the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF) or the other emissaries of this issue have been moving forward in disguise since 2021. But in the meantime, the journalist from L’Equipe, who access to the closest entourage of Frank McCourt and Pablo Longoria has no signal pointing towards an imminent formalization of the sale of OM. We are convinced that Thibaud Vezirian will have an answer to provide to our colleague based in Marseille.
