John Textor, the owner of Lyon, has addressed the financial situation of the club as they prepare for the upcoming January transfer window.
Lyon are expected to make several player sales in the next transfer period as part of efforts to alleviate financial burdens.
The club is aiming to reduce at least €100 million of their €500 million debt to avoid severe financial repercussions.
Textor emphasised the necessity of these sales, stating, “We are facing significant financial challenges and need to make difficult decisions to secure the club’s future.”
He added, “The January transfer window presents an opportunity for us to address these issues, and we must act prudently.”
Textor shared these insights in an interview with a local media outlet, highlighting the urgency of the club’s financial restructuring.
The football community will be watching closely to see which players might be on the market as Lyon seeks to stabilise their financial standing.
