The French football club "Lyon" has been placed under the threat of relegation to the second division, with strict conditions imposed by UEFA. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
If these conditions are met, the club may retain the right to participate in the Europa League competition. This was reported by L’Equipe. The European Football Association has prepared a special agreement for the club.
Under this agreement, the club must pay a fine of 50 million euros. Of this fine, 12.5 million euros is a mandatory payment that must be made regardless of future circumstances.
The remaining fines will depend on the fulfillment of financial requirements. Mandatory conditions include attracting significant investments, limiting the wage bill, ensuring a positive transfer balance, and maintaining their position in Ligue 1. The last requirement is particularly important: if the club cannot remain in the top league, it will not be able to participate in European competitions. The management of Lyon has already signed this agreement and understands the complexity of its implementation well.
The tasks ahead for the club are significant, and strict financial discipline is required. These measures are crucial for the club's future successes.
