Oliver Kahn and Jacques-Henri Eyraud Explore Potential Girondins de Bordeaux Acquisition

The former Bayern Munich goalkeeper and ex-OM president are reportedly in early talks to take over the financially troubled French football club.

Oliver Kahn, former Bayern Munich goalkeeper, and Jacques-Henri Eyraud, former president of Olympique de Marseille, are reportedly investigating a potential acquisition of the Girondins de Bordeaux football club.
The Girondins de Bordeaux are currently in National 2 (France's fourth division) and remain under judicial recovery, with an important court hearing scheduled for January 21 to determine the club's future.
Eyraud has approached current owner Gérard Lopez and the Bordeaux city council on behalf of Kahn to gather information about the club’s financial and operational state.
Kahn, who has expressed a strong interest in football club ownership since leaving his executive role at Bayern Munich in 2023, would reportedly act as the primary investor in the potential deal.
The potential acquisition is still in its preliminary stages, with no formal offers or agreements yet finalized, and other investor groups are also reportedly exploring options for the club.
