The Team News reported that in order to participate in the UEFA, Lyon needs to pay UEFA a fine of up to 50 million euros. However, if Lyon is eventually relegated to Ligue 2, he will miss the Europa League.
According to reports, Lyon signed a "negotiation agreement" with UEFA, which included huge economic penalties, club activity restrictions and being excluded from the UEFA Cup if it was eventually relegated to Ligue 2.
After being relegated to the French National Management Control Commission (DNCG), Lyon was forced to sign a "negotiation agreement" with UEFA's club financial control agency (ICFC) to be able to participate in the UEFA Cup this season.
According to information, Lyon will face a fine of up to 50 million euros, of which 12.5 million euros are required. The remaining fine of €37.5 million depends on whether the club can achieve a series of strict financial goals. But this will be very difficult. First, Lyon needs to inject a lot of money into the club in the shortest time.
In addition, Lyon is subject to a total salary limit and must ensure a balance between transfers. Of course, the club also needs to restore financial balance according to the schedule set by UEFA financial experts. Lyon is reluctant to comment on details of the agreement reached with UEFA.
If Lyon fails in the appeal and is eventually relegated to Ligue 2, they will automatically lose the qualification to participate in the UEFA Cup, which will not only affect the club's sports performance, but also bring economic losses, as the UEFA Cup matches can bring considerable income to the club.
