Olympique Lyonnais must review its copy in front of the DNCG and if optimism is in order, John Textor must still provide guarantees. To that end, selling a player at the start of July could help, and it does.
On Wednesday, the National Management Control Department put OL’s case on “stay of proceedings”, the financial policeman of football demanding additional guarantees from the new owner of the club. As we know, the DNCG asked before this passage that John Textor put 60 million euros in the budget, which obviously was not the case. But, while Olympique Lyonnais must return to the DNCG next week, a transfer is about to be finalized. Marc Mechenoua, journalist for Goal, announces this Saturday that OL and FC Lorient are discussing to lead to the final transfer of Romain Faivre. ” Lorient is in negotiations with Lyon for the transfer of Romain Faivre. Discussions are continuing but an agreement is close for an amount of 15 million euros “says the journalist.
Faivre failed to find his place at OL

Arrived in 2022 at Olympique Lyonnais from Brest for 15 million euros, Romain Faivre had not managed to find a place in OL version Peter Bosz, then in OL version Laurent Blanc. So, during the last winter transfer window, the 24-year-old midfielder was loaned to FC Lorient. And, under the Merlus jersey, Romain Faivre has regained all his qualities, to the point of convincing the Breton club to keep him beyond these six months of paid loan spent at Moustoir. It is in this context that OL and Lorient are negotiating the final transfer of the man who was an international U23 with France. If the price of 15 million euros is confirmed, everyone will be happy, and in particular the DNCG.
