Overview
- Eurohoops reports ASVEL failed to meet the new Financial Fair Play minimum for player salaries set at €5.85 million, with official LNB data showing €4.55 million.
- Falling below the threshold exposes the club to sanctions and gives the EuroLeague the right to expel it or decline to extend its license, a topic discussed by the league’s board.
- ASVEL’s EuroLeague license expires this summer and no new contract has been signed, which could ease an exit from the competition.
- Local reporting from Le Progrès, relayed by BeBasket and others, said ASVEL is preparing to join the Basketball Champions League in 2026–27 with an eye on the NBA’s Europe project, a development still in progress.
- Owner Tony Parker has publicly stated his goal of becoming an NBA head coach, and media speculation has grown about a potential sale of the club or a majority stake.
