The opera of the sale of the OM continues with new revelations from Thibaud Vézirian about an agreement between Zinedine Zidane and the Saudis.
For more than 3 years, Thibaud Vézirian has been making numerous statements about a possible sale of Olympique de Marseille to Saudi Arabia. Despite its repeated announcements, this large-scale operation has yet to materialize. Better yet, OM owner Frank McCourt maintains his initial position, stating loud and transparent that his club is not for sale. However, these clarifications from the Marseille leadership are not enough to discourage supporters of the OM sale, convinced that the Marseille club will soon be bought through Saudi investors.
Recently, it was Bruno Blanzat, a journalist for France Bleu Provence, who put a coin in the device by claiming that Zinedine Zidane had accepted the long-term coach of OM if Saudi Arabia buys the club. Reportedly, an agreement has already been reached between the two parties. The Real Madrid legend has reportedly agreed to return to Marseille as he has secured promises from the Saudis. He would have been promised a budget of €300 million for his first contract at OM. This speculation temporarily sparked enthusiasm in the ranks of Marseille supporters, and Thibaud Vézirian has just added another layer to it.
On the website Team Football, Thibaud Vézirian claims that Bruno Blanzat was the main source of a possible takeover of Olympique de Marseille involving Zinedine Zidane. He explains that Blanzat, being in the Command, would have had access to reliable and falsified information. “He privately demonstrated that he had very strong and very reliable sources,” he revealed.
But, as a precautionary measure, the colleague from France Bleu Provence did not have to publicly “get involved” in the main points related to the sale of OM to avoid possible retaliation with the Phocaean leadership. Thibaud Vézirian remains convinced that the takeover of the Saudis Olympique de Marseille is on the right track, although he points out that each team, in addition to itself, has its own information resources.
In short, the big driver of the sale OM has met with Bruno Blanzat as a credible source about the possible purchase of the Marseille club, with Zinedine Zidane linked to this possibility. However, we will have to be very cautious with this data from Thibaud Vézirian, whose confidence is declining on the net. At the moment, Frank McCourt remains at the helm and shows no intention of promoting his club in the near future.
