Equity analyst: Olympique Lyon's shares attractive despite facing loss of at least €83 million

Lyon's share price is down 32 per cent since 17th February and no European football next season will result in a double-digit million loss for the French club.

Despite that, their ability to monetise talent in the transfer market make them an attractive long-term investment.

Recent developments do not help the club's negotiations with a prospective new stadium rights sponsor "at all", according to an equity analyst.
