Lyon: funding, deadline and PSG… Textor, should we be worried? – Soccer
Call to become the new majority shareholder, John Textor still has not paid a single euro to buy Olympique Lyonnais. two weeks from the deadline to complete the operation, the American businessman would still seek to complete its financingaccording to The Team.
At the end of June, OL entered into “exclusive negotiations” with Textor.
Olympique Lyonnais is starting to get impatient, and we can understand that. On June 20, the board entered into exclusive negotiations with John Textor to become the club’s majority shareholder.
Problem, the American businessman still does not have a single euro or dollar to buy the shares of Path and IDG (39% of the capital) and a majority of those of Holnest (27.56% of the capital), the family holding of Jean-Michel Aulas.
textor would still seek to complete its financing
Why ? According to information from The Team, Textor would still seek to complete its financing ! Our colleagues remain cautious on this subject, with the conditional, but they do not use it to speak of the very real concern around the club, and even in certain instances of French football, probably the Professional Football League. Faced with the expectation of official news since the last GA of July 29, uncertainty reigns.
And for good reason: the deadline for concluding the takeover is fixed at September 30, i.e. in just over two weeks! If Textor has not actually completed his financing, it will therefore work well to hurry so as not to see OL pass under his nose. What does management think? She remains very confident, according to The team, and in particular the president Jean-Michel Aulas because of the contacts almost daily maintained with the American, add our colleagues.
Aulas remains serene
To definitely reassure his world, Textor has planned to go to Groupama Stadium on Sunday evening to attend the shock of the 8th day of Ligue 1 between OL and PSG. His first public appearance since the start of the exclusives. President Aulas no doubt hopes that the presence of the American will have a positive effect on the players, who remain on two consecutive defeats before facing the Parisian leader.
In your opinion, will Textor buy OL or not? Feel free to react and beat in the area add a comment…
