As you may know, seven-time French champions Lyon have been relegated to Ligue 2 for financial irregularities. The DNCG, which assesses the financial situation of French clubs, has decided that Lyon's financial situation has not improved enough and has been sentenced to relegation. However, relegation is not imminent. An appeal can be lodged during the appeal period. If the appeal is successful, Lyon will no longer be relegated.

To be successful, Lyon will need to pay around 100 million euros of its current debt of 175 million euros. Lyon has sold some players to stabilize their finances, but it has not been enough. To make this appeal a little easier, rival Paris Saint-Germain has come to the rescue.In 2023, Paris Saint-Germain signed Lyon's promising young player Bacala for €45.5 million. In order to comply with Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules, the transfer fee for Bacala was not paid in one lump sum, but in five installments of €9.1 million per year. However, Paris Saint-Germain has decided to pay the remaining transfer fee for Bacala in one go, in order to help Lyon, who are currently facing financial difficulties and are on the verge of relegation.

In other words, Paris Saint-Germain has helped Lyon, who are facing financial difficulties and are on the verge of relegation, as much as possible. PSG's action may not have solved all the problems for Lyon, who are currently appealing against the relegation, but it has certainly helped a little. We must also thank PSG for their help from the other side. I will end here with a prayer that Lyon will also succeed in its appeal and continue to shine in Europe. Thank you very much to everyone who read this to the end.
