Paris Saint-Germain's owners have decided to pay Lyon to help the club remain in France's top flight.
Lyon's expulsion from Ligue 1 has dominated French football news for several days. The legendary club, seven-time consecutive champions in the first decade of the 21st century, has been relegated.
Lyon still has the right to appeal, leaving their Ligue 1 status for next season uncertain. PSG has stepped in to help sort their financial issues.
PSG set to help Lyon
The Parisians bought Bradley Barcola from Lyon in 2023 for €50 million, which comes as a boost to their financial records.
Instead of continuing to pay the transfer fee in installments over several seasons, as originally agreed, PSG will reportedly pay the remaining amount immediately in full, according to RMC Sport.
This move provides a financial boost to the club as they attempt to convince authorities to allow them to compete in Ligue 1 next season.
A decision is expected in the next few days, as Lyon keeps fighting to remain in Ligue 1 for next season.
