Present today before the DNCG to plead his plan for OL, John Textor did not go through the transfer window questions. In a difficult financial situation, Les Gones could be contacted by several clubs for several of its players in form in the offensive sector. Targeted last summer by PSG and Borussia Dortmund, Rayan Cherki remains in the sights of these two clubs for the winter transfer window. Malick Fofana, in great form at the start of the season (6 goals and 4 assists in 15 games), is also targeted for a potential sale. But the owner of OL brushed aside the possibility of selling his two important elements.
“People should not be afraid”
In his statement, the American businessman leaves no shadow of doubt. “People should not be afraid. We are a few points away from a Champions League place and our goal is to get there. We are not going to compromise the strength of this squad.” The sale of these two players could bring OL a little more than 60 million euros and replenish the coffers. But Textor seems to be able to do without this inflow of money to get back on the budgetary slope. Will the pronounced downgrade change the situation?

To summarize
After his appearance before the DNCG, OL owner John Textor was questioned about the sales of Cherki and Fofana. He wanted to reassure Lyon supporters. For Textor, selling its two stars is out of the question because the objective is to qualify for the Champions League. He does not want to weaken his squad.
