Ligue 1 TV rights: Labrune attacked by Al-Khelaifi

The League and its leaders are clearly not learning from their past mistakes. With only a month and a half to go until the start of the new Ligue 1 season, an offer to buy the championship’s TV rights has been rejected.

Labrune does as he pleases

According to information from L’Equipe, the British group DAZN has made an offer of €375 million per year for eight matches out of nine per day and over a period of five years. It’s rather tempting but it wasn’t enough to make Vincent Labrune waver. There is no response yet, but we are heading towards a refusal in the next few hours.

The former OM boss is still convinced that he can get more out of it. And if no market player comes forward, he will validate the option of a 100% L1 channel controlled by the LFP. Especially since he now has a platform capable of hosting his content. This is “Max” from the Warner Bros group.

Al-Khelaifi raises his voice

According to RMC Sport, Max, who burst onto the French market last month, has agreed to offer exposure to the Ligue channel. A partnership should be signed and the cost of the subscription would be close to €28 million, it would include the entire WB catalog. An agreement has already been signed, the technical part is ready and a broadcast test would be scheduled for July 15.

This surprise option was not at all to the taste of Nasser Al-Khelaifi. The president of PSG considered that it does not serve the interest of the clubs at all. I don’t understand how we could have gotten to this point with such a presentation.”he fumed. The Qatari could counterattack by bringing his group BeIn Sports to make a concrete proposal to try to win the bet. The battle could be sealed as early as this weekend.
