Lyon is one of the most successful clubs in French football, with seven league titles in the 00s.
It's a club I've held close for so long and it's a fantastic football club. It's incredibly depressing to hear this, he says.
Kim Källström played 283 matches for Lyon between 2006 and 2012 and was involved in taking two league titles and two cup titles.
I suffer with everyone in the club. All supporters and all who have invested so much energy and commitment in the club, says Källström.
Lyon found out in November 2024 that they risked being relegated due to their economic problems, with debts amounting to almost two billion kronor according to French L'Equipe.
Lyon has announced that they will appeal the decision and means that they have met all requirements for liquidity and equity capital.
