New twist from Mediapro! After requesting additional time from the LFP for the payment of its second installment (see here), the main broadcaster of the French championship has let it be known through its president Jaume Roures that he simply wishes to renegotiate the amount of the contract signed this season. The Spaniard highlighted the health crisis and its economic repercussions.
“We want to discuss this season’s contract again. She is very affected by the Covid-19, everyone knows that because everyone is suffering. We are not questioning the project as such. But the bars and restaurants are closed, advertising has collapsed … These are things that everyone knows, pleaded the manager in the columns of L’Equipe. We do not have a concrete amount. We want to renegotiate the price. …) We are going to negotiate. We have to see what the conditions are for leading this discussion. The League agrees to sit around a table to talk about this subject. We will see how it will end. “
The contract initially signed provides for the payment of 780 million euros to broadcast L1 and 34 million euros for L2 for the 2020-2021 season.
