Olympique Lyonnais is at a critical moment, faced with an urgent need to find financial resources to ensure its sustainability. This could lead to the departure of key players, including Georges Mikautadze, who have the interest of several leading European clubs such as Nottingham Forest, Sunderland, Eintracht Frankfurt and Galatasaray, as well as Saudi Arabia. The AS Roma, in particular, seems to be stepping up its efforts to recruit the young Georgian attacker, proposing an initial offer of 18 million euros, although OL is not prepared to accept this sum, estimating the market value of Mikautadze at 22 million euros. His departure, only a year after his return to Lyon, would leave a void in the Lyon attack, especially since he was a winner in the last season with 17 goals and 9 assists.

In parallel with these financial and team difficulties, the LFP responded to the criticisms made by Nicolas Tagliafico regarding inconsistencies in the application of disciplinary sanctions in Ligue 1. Following his interventions and group work, the League announced a change of rule: an automatic suspension of a game will be imposed for five yellow cards received, regardless of the 10-game period. This new rule, which will take effect on the first day of the next season, would have had significant consequences for some players, such as Duje

In short, OL is looking for cash and may have to face the loss of important players like Georges Mikautadze, despite a reluctance to sell at a price below its real value. This situation is part of a review of disciplinary rules in League 1, following concerns raised by players and a desire for greater consistency in the application of sanctions. These changes are intended to improve the clarity and fairness of the sanctions system, potentially impacting the course of many upcoming clubs and players.
