According to L'Équipe Football, the last day of the transfer market was indeed calm at OM, with the only notable activity being negotiations over Quinten Timber's potential departure to Crystal Palace. However, president Stéphane Richard still managed to make headlines by appearing on BFM Business.
Richard spoke about his relationship with Tim Cook, who has recently left his position as president of Apple, and also shared an anecdote about his time with Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple. The timing of this intervention has raised eyebrows on social media, but the club has confirmed that it only took Richard a few minutes to discuss these topics from his office.
The transfer of Quinten Timber to Crystal Palace is now expected to be finalised.
