Mohamed Ajrudi, a French-Tunisian businessman, reaffirmed his ambition to buy the Olympique de Marseille in a recent interview. He mentioned an ambitious project, which he had already presented in 2020, aimed at relegating the club to the European football summit. Ajrudi revealed his desire to recruit Zinedine Zidane as a coach and Cristiano Ronaldo as an attacker, stressing that his current ambitions are similar to those he was pursuing in Saudi Arabia, where he is now involved. Despite the enthusiasm for his project, he never succeeded because of the refusal of Frank McCourt, the current club owner.
At the same time, Aubamรฉyang’s return to OM is pending due to contractual, administrative and tax details. The player, free from any contract after his departure from Al-Qadisiya, should sign a two-season contract with a reduced salary compared to his first time at the club. This negotiation is necessary as it will no longer benefit from the tax system advantageous for expatriates. Despite his absence during a recent training session, neither the club nor the player seems concerned about the delay, and his return is expected in the next few hours.
Finally, Andrรฉ Ayew, an experienced midfielder, is courted by AC Ajaccio, Ligue 2 club. The player, who wore the Olympique de Marseille and Ghana jerseys, would be open to a one-year proposal with an option for a second season. This project represents for him a sporting and human challenge, allowing him to stay close to his family in the south of France and to bring his experience for the relegation of the Ajaccio in Ligue 1.
