OL: Ever more powerful Textor

John Textor confirms his hold on Olympique Lyonnais a little more.

Arrived at the helm of OL last December, the American businessman recently dismissed Jean-Michel Aulas from the presidency.

It is in the capital of the Rhone club itself that it gains more weight today, at the end of the public offer to purchase shares filed by its holding company Eagle Football last July.

John Textor now owns 87.81% of OL’s shares – 12.19% more than when he arrived – the financial markets authority (AMF) specifying that this represents some 154.5 million euros. actions.

Jean-Michel Aulas remains the second shareholder of Les Gones with 8.23% of the capital shares.
