Recently, the DNCG imposed severe sanctions on Olympique Lyonnais, including payroll control, a ban on recruiting and a potential demotion at the end of the season. This decision marks a hard blow for the club, revealing the rigor of the financial policeman.
Other teams have also undergone similar measures. RC Lens, although not sanctioned last summer, is preparing for its mid-season hearing. The climate is tense, because Romain Molina, journalist, expressed concerns about the financial situation of the club.
According to Molina, “The owner announced that he was going to sell for 111 million euros, he will have a colossal hole this year, which he will estimate in tens of millions. At some point, you're going to have to cover it. » This statement highlights the financial pressure weighing on the club.
Joseph Oughourlian, the owner, might have to intervene financially to avoid sanctions. Without this, RC Lens could experience a fate similar to that of OL. This uncertainty pushes the club to consider solutions to improve its economic situation.
Last summer, RC Lens did not benefit from any major sales, apart from that of Wahi for 25 million euros, accompanied by 5 million bonuses. The transfers of Danso and El Aynaoui did not go through, depriving the club of necessary additional income.
The winter transfer window appears to be a crucial opportunity to rectify the club's financial situation. Without significant sales, the DNCG could crack down. RC Lens will have to find solutions to balance its accounts and avoid serious consequences.
