In a major turn of events, Olympique Lyonnais—home to Argentina World Cup winners Nicolás Tagliafico and Thiago Almada—will remain in Ligue 1 for the upcoming season.

The decision allows the club to compete in both Ligue 1 and the UEFA Europa League.
However, Lyon must now operate under strict financial restrictions, including limitations on player salaries and transfers. As a result, potential departures—including that of Tagliafico or Almada—cannot be ruled out during the current transfer window.
