Ligue 2: Lopez will pay “out of his own pocket” €40 million to save Bordeaux before the DNCG

As in each off-season, Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 clubs are summoned by the DNCG, the financial policeman of French football, to check their accounts. And the Girondins de Bordeaux have taken the bad habit of dreading this meeting, they who had come close to demotion in National a year ago. As revealed by L'Équipe, the club passed this Wednesday morning in front of the DNCG. And with a deficit of 40 M€ in its provisional budget for next season.

To overcome this, Gérard Lopez, president and owner of the Girondins, will take out 40 M€ “out of his pocket, in his own name and not via his company Joga Bonito”, to relieve the club in the scapular. Bordeaux risked various sanctions, in particular a framework for its payroll which would have handicapped it on the transfer market.

Last year, the Girondins were slow to launch their transfer window because of their financial situation. The choice of Lopez, a 51-year-old Hispano-Luxembourg businessman, allows Bordeaux to focus fearlessly on the sports field. Despite his complaints to the CNOSF, his last match of the season against Rodez, which could have allowed him to go back to Ligue 1, will not be replayed.
