After a very lively transfer window, Olympique Lyonnais is approaching the rest of its season with great ambition. John
Even at his lowest point, John Textor had announced the color. The American businessman has always repeated that this winter transfer window would be a turning point in the season.OL. In view of the operations carried out by the Rhone club, we will not blame him. In addition to attracting significant reinforcements to expand its squad, the Rhone club has restructured its organization chart.
“ Jean-Michel and I have moved beyond the awkwardness of our relationship. I hope we have a better summer“, said John Textor, before listing a first objective for this 2023-24 financial year. “ We have ambition in the Coupe de France. We want to win it, these are unique matches. »
OL assumes its European ambitions
Textor goes even further by mentioning European ambitions, while OL are still languishing at the bottom of the rankings. “ This team must play in the Champions League. I didn’t expect us to play for relegation. The transfer window gives us even more strength. We look towards the top of the table. Step down. I didn’t expect us to play for maintenance. We are improving with the players and the coach. We have to be in the game from the first match next season. Before we talk about next year, we need to slay a few dragons. »
“ The DNCG continues to supervise us for the sustainability of all French clubs, continued the American. They took into account the good financial news from the first and second quarters. They gave us 65 million euros for the transfer window. We have to make 20 million euros in sales that we can make this summer. Everything is going in the right direction. We are right on budget. We are happy that the DCNG saw this. We had this flexibility. We put a lot of money into these loans. We take a risk. It is up to the DNCG to validate these contracts, they have given their agreement. These are optional options, to see if we will lift them. There are many ways to cover these 20 million euros (best performance on the sale of the women’s team in the United States, sale of the LDLC Arena, etc.) The DNCG looks at all the figures. We can substitute a profit and you can find another line to cover. That’s not a huge number to cover. »
