Aulas wanted to put down OL, Textor will bring him back to C1

Ambitious for the future of Olympique Lyonnais, owner John Textor intends to strengthen the workforce this summer. There is no question for him of weakening Laurent Blanc’s group.

After the sale of Malo Gusto to Chelsea last January, added to the rumors according to which the management must find 130 million euros before the passage in front of the DNCG, the supporters of Olympique Lyonnais can wonder about the intentions of John Textor . The majority shareholder of the Rhone club therefore wanted to reassure the most worried. Contrary to the plan planned by former President Jean-Michel Aulas, the American has not planned to use the transfer window to rebalance the accounts.

Aulas wanted to sell for 70 M€

” We are in contact with the DNCG. The financial projections given to them by Jean-Michel (Aulas) predicted 70 million euros in sales. I don’t have that intentionreassured the businessman in the columns of L’Equipe. So we have to sit around a table with the controlling instance. I know its president. He was very understanding of the buying process. »

Rather than departures, John Textor hopes above all to conclude arrivals. ” Signing an experienced right-back is a good ideaquoted the owner of the Rhone club. An additional centre-back would be nice. I don’t know if we will need three or six players. We will discuss it with the coach. “According to the Lyon boss, Laurent Blanc can count on a reinforced workforce. All in order to bring Lyon back to the most prestigious of European competitions.

” The reason why we may not do Europe next season comes from the start of the league. Our poor results have sometimes been against teams from the bottom of L1. My goal is to erase these poor performances against supposedly weaker opponents. To increase our consistency. If we can do that, why not aim for the top two spots. Lyon must return to the Champions League. In terms of organization, it is a failure not to be in C1 “, estimated John Textor, expected at the turn of this transfer window.
