Olympique Lyonnais (Lyon FC) was valued at €884 million (US$932.21 million) when John Textor's Eagle Football Holdings completed its takeover in December 2022. However, more recent reports suggest a decrease in valuation, with one indicating an enterprise value of 492 million euros in 2024, a 13% decrease from the previous year. The club is currently facing financial difficulties and has been placed on the transfer market to sell players.
