Overview

• John Textor has invested over €293 million since acquiring Olympique Lyonnais in December 2022 to rebuild the club's competitiveness.
• Negotiations with UEFA are ongoing for a financial settlement to avoid potential exclusion from European competitions, with sanctions looming if agreements aren't reached.
• Lyon remains under provisional relegation threat by the DNCG unless financial improvements are achieved by June 2025.
• Jean-Michel Aulas publicly disputes Textor’s claims, asserting that the club had no financial issues with the DNCG or UEFA during his presidency.
• Despite sitting seventh in Ligue 1 with two matches remaining, Lyon’s chances of qualifying for the Champions League are mathematically possible but highly unlikely.
