Reporting on the impact of the coronavirus on the sports world
Lille President Gerard Lopez has confirmed that a sale of the current Ligue 1 leaders with an offer from Merlyn Partners is likely.
The Luxembourg businessman bought the three-time French champions in early 2017 and launched a failed project with Marcelo Bielsa as coach before Christophe Galtier arrived to spin the club on the pitch with famous sporting director Luis Campos, who built the squad.
Lopez, 48, secured loans to keep LOSC alive, but the financial ramifications of COVID-19 and the recent collapse of the lucrative Mediapro television rights contract have left Les Dogues in a difficult position.

« I am pleased with the work done and that our sporting achievements with Lille are being recognized by foreign investors at a difficult moment for French football, » said Lopez. « I welcome Merlyn’s interest in the club and will consider this proposal carefully and as soon as possible for the benefit of all concerned.
