In trouble. This is the best way to describe the current financial situation of Lyon, managed by Paulo Fonseca, who in the last few hours, through Eagle Football, its owner, announced astronomical losses of more than 200 million euros in the financial year relating to 2024/25.
According to ‘L’Équipe’, it’s all due to John Textor’s “disastrous management,” which almost forced the club to declare bankruptcy.
It should be remembered that, in November of last year, Lyon was even banned from signing players and relegation was considered. And despite important sales such as Rayan Cherki to Manchester City, for a fee of around 36 million euros, the situation remains… very complicated.
