In OL's decision to appeal the DNCG sanctions, John Textor intends to highlight the upcoming sale of his shares to Crystal Palace. Eagle Football is reportedly in the process of entering into exclusive negotiations with an investor.
L’OL chose to pull out his muscles and not let it happen. At the end of 2024, after being officially notified of its DNCG sanctions, the Lyon club decided to appeal. He will appear before the FFF legal commission at the end of the week and hopes that the new file will have its effect and show that he is determined to carry out all the operations that John Weaver had planned during the visit to the DNCG on November 18. Among these files, the sale of the American's shares in Crystal Palace (45%), as has been suggested since the fall. During the presentation of the DNCG file to the press, Weaver had put forward four investors interested in this buyout, even if the names remained confidential. Lately there has been talk of Sports bank.
More than 200 million euros in the coffers?
The consortium led by Zechariah Janjua and Navshir Jaffer will he win the prize in the coming weeks? Mystery, but one thing would be certain according to The Team. Eagle Football has reportedly signed a letter of intent and granted exclusivity to an investor, whose name has not been leaked, to buy 45% of the London club in the coming weeks. Enough to prove the good faith of the American owner when a sum exceeding 200 million euros has been advanced for several weeks.
