On June 16, 2026 Bloomberg reported that Ares Management is nearing an agreement to take control of cash-strapped Ligue 1 club Olympique Lyonnais, working with businesswoman Michele Kang and finalizing terms with administrator Cork Gully LLP over Eagle Football Group Bidco. The move would deepen Ares's sports-related investing footprint. The development comes amid broader pressure on alternative-asset managers, as KKR, Blackstone and Ares shares tumbled in early June on private-equity jitters tied to Fed rate cuts and rising loan defaults. Separately, Goldman Sachs removed Ares from its US Conviction List in a recent monthly update, a mild negative signal. The bull case is continued broad-based AUM growth across credit, real assets and secondaries; the bear case is sector-wide concern over private credit returns and a distressed-asset acquisition carrying execution and reputational risk.
