In turn, <strong>it was urged to raise \u20ac175 million<\/strong> to be able to revoke this harsh punishment.<\/p>  <p>However, since that warning, the situation has not improved much. <strong>Olympique Lyon<\/strong> has remained mired in economic problems and, after failing to qualify for the <strong>UEFA Champions League<\/strong> 2025\/26, has also seen a path that could have been a positive injection in financial matters escape in order to try to amend the path in a year where sporting successes were scarce:<\/p>  <ol> <li> <strong>Ligue 1:<\/strong> 6th<\/li> \t<li> <strong>French Cup:<\/strong> Round of 32<\/li> \t<li> <strong>Europa League:<\/strong> Quarterfinals<\/li> <\/ol> <p>Now, the decision was ratified after a meeting held this Tuesday at the headquarters of the LFP (Ligue de Football Professionnel), in which the <strong>DNCG<\/strong> met with the club&#8217;s owner, <strong>John Textor<\/strong>. In a summit of approximately two hours, the manager presented his arguments to try to reverse the ruling that until then had a provisional nature. <strong>Without any success<\/strong>.<\/p>  <h2>Lyon can appeal, but the situation is critical<\/h2>  <p>Under this premise, the French team still has the option of appealing the decision. However, the scenario gives the impression of not being the most favorable for the Lyon team that, after this administrative relegation, \u2014if the appeal is not successful\u2014, <strong>could suffer a general exodus<\/strong>.<\/p>  <p>Faced with the sporting decline and the need to balance accounts, it may be forced to part with several of its most striking talents. One of them has already left: <strong>Rayan Cherki<\/strong>, sold to <strong>Manchester City<\/strong> for the meager amount of \u20ac35 million.<\/p>  <p>The midfielder could be followed by other names such as <strong>Georges Mikautadze<\/strong>, one of their top scorers of the year.
