Lyon and Marseille receive DNCG sanctions for financial issues
Summary

Lyon and Marseille have both been sanctioned by the DNCG as they face financial scrutiny. The sanctions follow record losses incurred partly due to declining domestic broadcasting revenues. Lyon's failure to qualify directly for the UEFA Champions League and Marseille's ongoing struggles have exacerbated their financial situations. Lyon has begun to address their budget issues by selling Afonso Moreira to Bayer Leverkusen for €32 million, while Marseille is reportedly looking to offload Mason Greenwood. The sanctions also include monitoring of wage bills and transfer activities for both clubs.
