Already owner of La Provence, and jersey sponsor of Olympique de Marseille with the CMA CGM, Rodolphe Saadé is regularly mentioned to buy OM from Frank McCourt. The billionaire seems, for the moment, to have other more media ambitions.
Rodolphe Saadé is the man who rises in the French media, since the 53-year-old businessman is said to intend to create a new newspaper which will appear on Sundays and will therefore be a direct competitor to the JDD. But the boss of CMA CMG, whose family fortune is estimated at 38 billion euros, who is already in charge of La Provence and Corse-Matin, is often cited as the ideal candidate to take over Olympique de Marseille from Frank McCourt, which he always denied wanting to do. Now a partner of OM, since his company is displayed on the jersey of Marseille players, Rodolphe Saadé could strike another big blow, according to the Journal du Dimanche.
From the OM jersey to RMC?

In his prying, the weekly, which is emerging from a long strike, reveals that Rodolphe Saadé has positioned himself to acquire the Altice Media group, which belongs to Patrick Drahi. Altice Media is best known for owning BFM and RMC and all variants of these two channels. To afford BFM and RMC, a radio station that has frequently given pride of place to Olympique de Marseille, the owner of CMA CGM would have to pay nearly 2 billion euros, says the JDD. However, for the moment, the big boss of Altice Media remains silent on his real intentions, even if the rumors multiply in recent weeks concerning the possible sale of BFM and RMC. As for Marseille supporters, we hope that the next stage of the Saadé project will indeed be the acquisition of OM.
