Olympique Lyonnais is heading toward a major turning point. Following the removal of John Textor from the Eagle Football holding, the Rhône-based club could soon change ownership.
The sale process of Olympique Lyonnais has officially begun. In a statement, Eagle Football Group announced the creation of an independent ad hoc committee. Its mission: oversee the appointment of an expert, review potential offers, and recommend a possible sale. A key step confirming that the holding’s assets, including the club, are indeed on the market.
Official Sale Process and Emerging Bidders
Among the candidates, a consortium made up of Ares Capital and an affiliate of Michele Kang has expressed interest. This structure requires independent oversight to avoid any conflict of interest, as the executive is already involved in the club’s governance. Other investors could also join the race.
More surprisingly, an announcement published in the Financial Times has formalized the sale via the parent company Eagle Football Holdings Bidco, now under the control of a court-appointed administrator. This entity, which also holds stakes in other clubs such as Botafogo and RWD Molenbeek, is actively seeking buyers.
This situation opens a period of uncertainty for Olympique Lyonnais, caught between internal restructuring and a potential change of shareholders. One thing is certain: the club is entering a new strategic phase, with major decisions expected in the coming weeks.
