OL will be expected at the turn next season in Ligue 1. John Textor wants to give himself the means to put Les Gones back on the national stage.
In Lyon, the summer transfer window is one of all dangers. OL will not play in any European competition next season and must start again with an ambitious group. Jean-Michel Aulas gone, it is now John Textor who will have to assume his responsibilities. The new owner of OL recently indicated that he wanted to make OL a team made for qualifying in Europe at the end of next season. For that, it will be necessary to be skilful on the transfer market in the direction of arrivals but also not to yield its best players. And the arrival of Saudi Arabia on the European transfer window does not do Lyon business …

In an interview given to Channel Do TFJohn Textor, owner of OL could not help denouncing the actions of Saudi Arabia, also admitting that his best player was desired by the Gulf country. “The Saudis want everything. They want my best player at Lyon, my best player at Crystal Palace, the best players and my coach at Botafogo. Their strategy is to buy everything. We will see what will happen not only in Botafogo, but also in the world of football.”, said John Textor, very worried about the future of his teams but also of world football. Because the balance of things is shifting and many strongholds in Europe are seeing their players jump ship to give in to the Saudi sirens. It remains to be seen which OL player was concerned by the words of John Textor.
