In the space of 48 hours, the OM takeover project went from clear to very mysterious. And that while Jacques-Henri Eyraud says that the club is not for sale.
Mourad Boudjellal set fire to Friday by announcing that on behalf of a Franco-Tunisian businessman he was carrying out a project to buy Olympique de Marseille. Everything seemed to be stalled with funds of 700ME already in a bank account in order to be able to quickly show Frank McCourt that the proposal was solid and worth studying. However, the more the hours pass, the less things are clear. Even though Jacques-Henri Eyraud reiterated on Saturday that OM was not for sale, the Journal du Dimanche claims that for the moment no bank has been mandated on this project, nor has Banque Rothschild, which officially announced that it was not involved, that another, and that the 700MEs supposed to reassure Frank McCourt do not exist for the moment. What Louis Acariès, involved in the file, confirmed on Europe 1.
And the JDD specifies that ” the first attempts to contact McCourt were unsuccessful, discussions with members of his entourage remained informal ” The file is therefore probably less advanced than the former boss of RC Toulon said, but there is really a desire to go after this operation, Ayachi Ajroudi, behind this operation, being in the reflection phase to find out how to get to the front of the stage in the coming days. What necessarily revive all the assumptions, even as Frank McCourt follows all this turmoil from the United States without believing too much, the weekly saying that on the side of OM leaders and French football bodies we are very skeptical concerning Ayachi Ajroudi. The week is therefore likely to be still hot, unless the American billionaire owner of the Olympique de Marseille takes a decided position in one direction or the other.
