Olympique de Marseille, currently 13th in Ligue 1, may face potential sanctions from the National Directorate for Financial Control (DNCG) due to their recruitment-free summer transfer window. The financial watchdog, DNCG, has issued a warning after the club failed to meet compliance requirements set out last June. One possibility being discussed is a points deduction for next season, which would be enforced if the club fails to improve its financial situation by the 30th of June 2027.
However, a provisional relegation to Ligue 2, similar to the punishment given to Olympique Lyonnais in November 2025, does not seem likely at this stage. With their current financial predicament, OM may struggle to bolster their squad during the winter transfer window. Instead, selling selected players could help the club's management alleviate some of the DNCG's financial restrictions.
