He had decided to "withdraw" from the project of businessman Mohamed Ajroudi to buy OM. It didn't last very long. Questioned by La Provence, the former president of the Toulon rugby club returned to the charge, ensuring that the redemption was "not dead". "You have to succeed in catching the heart of Frank McCourt, he explains. We must try to convince him that we are not bad guys, that we have good intentions, that we can perhaps be stronger together, that we can give happiness and do great things for the city. "

Returned to the forefront of the negotiations, assures that he is now "the only one who could talk about this project", without specifying whether he has really advanced. But Boudjellal displays his confidence, and believes that “it will be done by the end of the year, I hope before the end of December. But there will be twists and turns! You understood that it was going to be a soap opera… ”, he continues.

And because an interview with Boudjellal is never one without a good punchline, the Varois tried to sting the Marseille supporters after their celebrations of the Parisian defeat on Sunday night. “Today, OM must shine again in Europe. It's enough to "pinch" on a star! To be "forever the first" means that we forget the present and console ourselves with the past. That's fine, but "becoming the first again" is better. "
