The monitoring of financial operations within Eagle Football remains complex, making their interpretation difficult. Nevertheless, it is established that Olympique Lyonnais holds the economic rights of Igor Jesus, attacking Brazil from Botafogo. This transfer, formalized by Evanagelos Marinakis’ Nottingham Forest, near John Textor, was expected for several weeks and was finalized after the conclusion of the World Cup of Clubs. Botafogo, led by Igor Jesus, had reached the eighth final of this competition, thanks in particular to a decisive goal against Paris Saint-Germain.
Igor Jesus, an international who has evolved in Coritiba in particular, is committed to four seasons with the Nottingham Forest. This news may be of interest to Olympique Lyonnais, as the DNCG holds its economic rights and should therefore receive a share of the benefits of this transfer, as had been the case with Luiz Henrique. The winger had joined Zenit Saint Petersburg in January 2025 for 35 million euros, including bonuses.
The exact amount of the transaction involving Igor Jesus was not disclosed by both clubs. The financial details will probably be revealed in Eagle Football’s annual financial reports, published at the end of each season. It will therefore be necessary to wait until 2026, the closing date of the balance sheets, to know the precise amount of this operation, as was the case for the transfer of Luiz Henrique. These reports are the primary source of information for understanding the company’s financial movements.
