Liverpool can get bargain major transfer after Lyon relegation confirmed and enquiry made - Liverpool Echo
- Olympique Lyon, a French club, suffered relegation from Ligue 1 midway through the 2024/25 campaign after failing to resolve significant financial issues.
- The relegation followed a provisional demotion in November 2024 linked to Lyon's inability to reduce a 500 million euro debt, despite meetings and appeals with the financial watchdog DNCG.
- Lyon has sold key players such as Rayan Cherki for £34m and faces possible departures of valuable assets including 20-year-old winger Malick Fofana, signed in 2024 for £19.5m from Genk.
- Fofana's former agency BF SportsPartner expressed that his preferred club would be Liverpool and emphasized that he possesses the qualities necessary to thrive in the Premier League.
- Lyon's relegation may trigger a mass player exodus, presenting opportunities for Premier League clubs like Liverpool to secure promising talents at potentially reduced fees.
