Since Friday morning, Mourad Boudjellal has been in the press every day to present his plan to take over Olympique de Marseille.
Proof that he is very active, the former president of the Toulon Rugby Club even met the main officials of OM’s supporters groups earlier this week. And Tuesday evening, the 60-year-old entrepreneur again confided in the newspaper L’Equipe about the possible acquisition of Olympique de Marseille from Frank McCourt. While the entourage of the current owner of the Marseille club denies a possible sale of the club, Mourad Boujdellal said that it was time for him and his associates to be silent and give way to more confidential negotiations.
Boudjellal talks to whomever he wants in Marseille
“The supporters wanted to meet me. I still have the right to speak to whomever I want. I felt them worried about the current situation. The Champions League did not reassure them. They want a great Marseille. Finally, we are very similar. We already have one thing in common: passion. I do not know if I will resume OM but if I can plan the supporters of the two cities, that’s already won. I felt them suspicious of me, the offer we carry. We did not kiss on the mouth but sincerely, the exchanges were courteous. Did I reassure them? I do not know. I have no legitimacy at the moment. The right strategy is the winner. We’ll see at the end. But hey, we’re going to start cutting the sound. We made enough noise. We are going to enter into business secrets ” said the possible future president of Olympique de Marseille, well aware that this ubiquitous media could not last forever, at the risk of tiring everyone in Marseille. Especially since for the moment, the fog is still thick around the project of Mourad Boudjellal, Mohamed Ajroudi and the investors they represent.
