The financial struggles of OL are set to be on full display when they face Paris FC on Friday at 20:45 on Ligue 1+. The match will see OL take on players that their club can no longer afford, with several high-profile signings being mentioned, including Patrick Zabi, Pablo Pagis, Diego Copolla, Luca Koleosho, and Lassine Sinayoko.
These players, who were once considered valuable assets, are now reportedly earning salaries that are "hors grille" (off the scale) for OL. The financial struggles of the club are a stark contrast to the success of Paris FC, who have been promoted to Ligue 1 and are now a wealthy club that does not need to sell its players.
The article suggests that OL is expected to return to financial balance by 2029, but for now, the club is struggling to make ends meet.
