Owner of OL, John Textor has high ambitions as for all clubs in the Eagle Football galaxy. It remains to find the adequate funds to materialize these projects. To do this, the businessman is now turning to Wall Street.
Hen with the golden eggs or storyteller, John Textor remains a mysterious man for OL supporters. Boss of the Lyon club since the end of 2022 and sole decision-maker since last May, the American multiplies the effects of announcements in the press. However, his words are still very abstract and few people seem able to predict what OL will look like in the future. The Lyonnais are not the only ones to wonder since the supporters of RWD Molenbeek and Botafogo probably think the same thing. It must be said that Textor remains very vague on the financing of his clubs, he who took several months to buy OL.
OL Groupe soon on Wall Street?
Will John Textor have strong backbone for OL? In any case, he will do his best to get fresh money quickly, including on the stock markets. As revealed by the financial site Boursier.com, the American wants to bring OL Groupe on the stock market in the United States. An OPAS (Simplified Public Takeover Offer) should soon be launched on the stock. According to the Bloomberg media, Textor could ” offer investors the option of a separate direct listing of the security on the New York Stock Exchange (Dow Jones) or Nasdaq “.

A way like any other to increase the capital of the Rhone club. The other possibility for Textor would be to merge Eagle Football with the SPAC Iconic Sports fund. For now, no decision has been made officially. Thoughts and discussions are continuing for OL Groupe’s listing on the New York Stock Exchange. Beginning of the American dream for OL or huge risk taking to try to grow the club? Lyon supporters are eager to find out quickly.
