The time for the big change rang at Olympique Lyonnais! Relegated to Ligue 2 by the DNCG, pending the final decision of the appeal, the Rhone club now chaired by Michele Kang will take a lot of measures to get out of this situation.
In its edition of the day, The team Announces that in order to save money, Michele Wang would have commissioned Chris Mallon, specialist in corporate restructuring, in order to find lasting solutions to rectify the club's finances. For this, a drastic drop in the wage bill would have been decided.
While the payroll was 160 million euros this season, OL aims to lower it up to 90 million euros. For that, he was decided, according to
The teamto set a maximum salary at 200,000 euros. This decision will not be without consequences since it will push certain players like Nemanja Matic towards the exit. Malick Fofana and Lucas Perri could also be sold.
OL's performance threatened
Players are not the only ones to see their wages downwards since club employees will not be spared. Indeed, in the need to save on all floors, the Lyon management also wishes to reduce its workforce. Bad news for employees who just emerge from a social plan.
From a sporting point of view, these measures could have strong consequences. While OL is engaged in the Europa League, the recruitment restriction imposed by the club's financial difficulties could undermine its performance.
