The Impending Sale of OM: A Lifeline for French Football?

With a Master’s degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university studies that it was important to work in a field that you enjoy. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents’ dream of me becoming a future lawyer, to live my passion: sports. Since then, I have been covering transfer windows and sports news, trying to inform readers as best I can.

In France, the news is dominated by the legislative elections. But soon, the media could mention the sale of OM and the arrival of Saudi investors on the Canebière. Journalist Thibaud Vézirian announces that the deal would be closed and that the officialization should take place in the coming days, in particular to allow the file related to TV rights to be relaunched.

French football is in great danger. A few weeks before the restart, the LFP has still not managed to find broadcasters for the Ligue 1. A situation that worries professional clubs, who could lose a lot of money in this affair. But according to Thibaud Véziriansalvation could come from theSaudi Arabiaabout to buy OM. As indicated by the journalist, this deal would still be current, despite Frank McCourt’s denials.

Vézirian sticks to his guns

“Today, there are all the elements that show that we are in the process of formalizing the transfer, there is no problem with that (…) Now, I am not responsible for this type of waiting, for these hazards as I have always said. Today, France has its head in this political quagmire of the legislative elections, no need to tear each other apart over a subject over which you and I have no control. We are not going to respond forever, but things are moving forward as we have seen” confided Vezirian.

“I always have confirmations”

According to him, the operation could be announced very soon. “The official announcement must come, I always have confirmations, people who tell me that it is imminent. This week is key, because it becomes urgent. If by July 10, we hear nothing about OM or the TV rights, we will have to close the door and there will only be eight clubs left in Ligue 1 (…) Of course it will happen, but even if I had shown the merger-acquisition document, we would have said that it was a fake (…) I am not saying everything I know, but everything is going in the same direction” he declared on Twitch and in comments reported by Foot 01.
