John Textor makes another confusing outing on OL

John Textor only has eyes for Botafogo. In a complicated situation on the other side of the Atlantic with Olympique Lyonnais, the American businessman is jubilant in the country of King Pelé. The owner of OL has just won the Copa Libertadores with the Carioca club and seems to have completely forgotten his torments in the Rhone. “For me, it is so much more important than everything that happens in Europe”launched Textor after the match, while OL are still under threat of administrative relegation.

A statement that risks setting teeth on the banks of the Rhône. However, if the Eagle group boss's heart is on Botafogo's side, OL could benefit from the victory of the Brazilian club. Olympique Lyonnais could directly benefit from the 70 million euros linked to this final victory for the “Estrela Solitaria” in the Libertadores final. A significant inflow of money for John Textor who will be able to breathe financially vis-à-vis the DNCG.
