Adrift in Ligue 2 and eliminated on Saturday evening by Nice, in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, Bordeaux could soon be sold.
Owner of the Girondins de Bordeaux for two and a half years, Gérard Lopez still affirmed in recent months that there was no question of selling for him. The situation would have changed. According to information from South Westthe discussions that the boss of the Bordeaux club is currently having with certain institutions ready to invest in the project, would no longer only concern a simple minority entry into the capital.
The media quotes a close source: “ All scenarios remain open and everything is possible. (…) A loan, a minority investment… or majority. » A great first for Gérard Lopez, which opens the door to a possible handover. Seeing the (more than probable) scenario of a rapid rise to Ligue 1 emerging, the businessman knows that his club will end the season in the red. According to South WestBordeaux should find itself with a deficit of around thirty million euros minimum.
Maintenance above all
And as Gérard Lopez wants at all costs to avoid “ endanger your personal finances “, he would therefore be thinking today about the possibility of selling the Girondins. A decision which still seems far from being made, but which the supporters would perhaps not view so negatively. In the meantime, Bordeaux will have to concentrate on the one and only sporting objective that remains this year: saving itself from possible relegation to the National. After twenty days, the team coached by Albert Riera is fifteenth, with only three points ahead of the first relegated team.
